Explanation:

• The Elizabethan drama began during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
• Dramas and plays moved away from a religious context to a more imaginative theme.
• It was the time when playwrights such as Shakespeare, Ben Marlowe, etc. flourished.
• Performers were given a more professional setup.
• They were no longer wandering troupes.
• Audience members were seated all around the stage, since the theatres were built in a circular shape.
• As there was no artificial lighting present, the plays would be performed during the afternoon and wrapped up by dusk.
• The theatres were no longer restricted for the elite and the educated.
• Even the common, layperson could enjoy the Elizabethan dramas.
• As audiences were from all levels of the society, it was difficult to maintain silence and manage an unruly crowd.
• Audiences were excitable and responded loudly.
• They would show their dislike of a scene or a character by booing loudly.
• The roles were all acted by men.
• Young lads were most preferred for enacting the roles of women or young ladies in the play.
• These are some of the characteristics of Elizabethan drama (theatre).
