The theaters back in Shakespeare's time did not have sound effects so they had to make there own, unlike theater's these days where there are many sound effects to add a dramatic effect to the play.
the Queen would go to the theater often, many people say that if the Queen had not supported the theater as much as she did, the theater would not have lasted to this day.
Groundlings were charged one penny for admission, and they were free to move around on the gorund and interact with the people in the plays.
If it rained, the groundlings could pay an extra penny to sit under one of the galleries, under cover of a roof.
The actors, however, were not so lukcy, rain or shine, the play would go on, no matter how hard it rained.
