In the Age of Great Voyages,
the globe was the theatre.

The establishment of public theatres meant everyone could see a play by buying a ticket. Until then, plays were events reserved for only the Royal family and for the people of the upper class.
Although Shakespeare's troupe was a 'royal troupe' sponsored by theking, it was established on 'The Globe', a popular theatre.
Besides 'The Globe', Shakespeare's troupe obtained a theatre where they could perform indoors (The Black Monk). Ticket for 'The Black Monk' cost 6 pence, whereas the cheapest ticket for the public theatre was 1 penny. The seating capacity was about 600 and the audience was one with intelligence and higher education.
