Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is: All of the above were included

Explanation:

The Elizabethan theatres or multiple stages were constructed based on the style of the old Greek and Roman open-air amphitheatres which are best illustrated through their reconstruction by John Cranford Adams. Generally, Elizabethan theatres consisted of the following parts:

1. an outer stage.

2. a recessed inner stage, or place called “study”.

3. Below-stage trap doors for performers to enter from the "cellarage" area which was usually located beneath the stage.

4. an upper stage or chamber directly above the recessed inner stage.

5. obliquely set tiring-house doors.

6. obliquely set second-story window-stages.
