This Revision Guide on the Globe Theatre is aimed at students to help them study, revise and be prepared for the AQA Elizabethan Historic Environment question for 2026.

I have broken down the main details into manageable chunks using an amalgamation of P words including place, patronage, protests, popularity and purpose.

This guide has been revised from my 2019 version and these P words focus on the main concepts of location, function, structure, design, people connected to the Globe, the culture, values and fashions of the time and how the site links to important events of the period.

There is clearly a lot more information in the AQA guidance now included from 2019, such as the construction and function of the Globe, the surrounding theatres and their patrons, the famous actors and companies linked to each and the messages included in the plays written. I have added this to expand the Guide from 6 to 8 pages and considered the exam questions that may be asked.

Therefore, this Revision Guide on the Globe Theatre is perfect for busy teachers as it includes all the key information needed and is tailored to support students of all abilities.

Furthermore, with a strong emphasis on how the site connects to the broader themes of the Elizabethan era, this resource will not only save you hours of planning but also help students gain a deeper understanding of how to approach the Historic Environment question with clarity and precision.

The Guide comes in Word and PDF format and can be edited and changed if required. Please feel free to edit and adapt the guide if needed.

I would welcome any reviews on this resource, which would be much appreciated.
