	Elizabethan theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first purpose-built theatre for plays in England since Roman times was The Theatre, built in Shoreditch by James Burbage in 1576, and was rapidly followed by the nearby Curtain Theatre.
		By 1600, there were several theatres, each with an upper level which could be used as a balcony, as in Romeo and Juliet, or as a position for an actor to harangue a crowd as in Julius Caesar.
		Theatres were located in the same parts of the city in which brothels and other forms of vice proliferated.

		First of all, the curtain is used to conceal the scenery or stage temporarily to allow the property people and stagehands to do their work unseen, in a theatre based on illusion.
		The curtain is a tangible sign of the separation between stage and auditorium, the line between the watched and the watcher, the border between what can be semiotized (and thus become a sign) and what cannot (the audience).
		Every curtain opens onto a second curtain which is all the more difficult to open for being invisible, not so much the boundary of the wings, as the frontier of what is off stage, of the other stage*.

		Many new and different formats were tried, in both picture and sound, and the one that 'won' was the use of an anamorphic lens in the filming and projection of epic movies.
		All theatres had to do was put the anamorphic lens on the projector and install a wide screen.
		The solution to this lead to a third aspect ratio: Theatres put a magnifing lens on the projectors when showing the regular films, filling more of the screen width-wise, and cropping off the top and bottom of the filmed image.
