Fortune TheatreThe Fortune Theatre was a contemporary with Shakespeare's Globe, the Swan Theatre and others. It is the only theater from that time whose exact dimensions are known, although many details were specified to be "the same as the Globe" without further clarification. It had a square floorplan. Three floors of galleries surrounded the central yard, which was open to the sky. The well-to-do paid extra money to see the play and be seen in the galleries, while "groundlings" could watch the play from the yard, right in front of the stage. The stage was rectangular, extending out into the middle of the yard.
