The Globe Theatre Put the
passages in the right order

• A but it was not very popular with the
  authorities because the audience was very noisy,
  and some people went to the theatre instead of
  working. There was often plague in London, too,
  and so the authorities closed the theatre if
  there were more than thirty deaths in one week.

• B (London Bridge was the only bridge over the
  Thames at that time.) Plays started at two
  o'clock in the afternoon, and a flag flew on top
  of the theatre when the play was ready to start.
  The theatre was very popular with both poor
  people and rich people

• D It cost one old penny to go in, another
  penny for a seat, and a third penny for a cushion
  to sit on. The audience could buy food and drink
  (beer, water, and fruit) but there were no
  intervals, and no toilets in the theatre!

• C Shakespeare built the Globe Theatre in
  London in 1599 on the south side of the River
  Thames. Most people lived on the north side of
  the river and crossed London Bridge to go to the
  theatre.
