Three different colored flags were posted to tell what play was being performed: Comedy- White Tragedy- Black History- Red
The theatre did not rely on many props, scenery or eleaborate costumes. WORDS were used to tell. Did not rely on visual aids. "It was a dark and stormy night." told the audience it was dark and stormy, not special effects etc when a play was performed during the afternoon hours. BLANK VERSE IS UNRHYMED IAMBIC PENTAMETER!!
