3. Watch the following clip from the movie Shakespeare In Love:

In the scene portrayed in this clip, how does the space and architecture of the theatre impact the performance and the audience?  How would you imagine the scene you read from Hamlet to be played on this type of stage?  How does that compare to the way you would expect to see those same scenes portrayed in a contemporary production on a proscenium stage?  Which do you think is better? Explain.
