Shakespeare used round theatres and today we use closed theatres
a lot of Shakespeare used audience participation and modern theatre does not
Shakespeare had all male casts even female roles were played by males nowadays female roles are actually played by females
no costumes, just everyday clothes in Shakespeare and now we have costumes
Weather affected performances because of the open roof, now its all inside so it can't affect it
Historically based plays by Shakespeare, nowadays its based on what entertains the public
Food was a big part of performances
Low scenery, very little effects in Shakespeare, now its a bit more fancy
People had to stand in theatres in Shakesperian era, now u can sit
Shakespeare had to make everything more dramatic because there were no microphones, nowadays we can speak normally because of microphones
In Shakespeare there was no seperation from the performance and the audience, nowadays there are.
