Leisure/Pastimes

• Ordinary People: gambling, bearbaiting, running races, football
• Wealthy People: hunting, hawking, reading the classics, studying music
• Theatre design: tiered seating for the rich, the pit infront of the stange with no roof above for the poor, no curtain on stage
• Theatre Opposition: Puritans believed theatres were the work of the devil, spreading rude and lewd ideas encouraging poor moral behaviour, they also associated the theatre with the Romans, who had persecuted Christians
