It began its fall activities with Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar.” Seats were on three floors. The theater could accommodate 3,000 spectators. The actors were only men. Above the entrance was the inscription “Totus Mundus agit histrionem”, meaning all the world’s a stage. Although the theater burned down in a fire in 1613, it was rebuilt a year later.
