Eindscene Shakespeare in love

Eigenlijk geen vrouwen op toneel, maar de acteur die Juliet speelde kreeg baard in keel, daarom mocht 'viola' invallen. Romeo wordt gespeeld door Shakespeare die verliefd is geworden op Viola. 

Uitleg over: publiek reageerde altijd op wat er op toneel gebeurde/'special effect' bloed/ groundlings goedkoopste plekken --> hoe hoger hoe duurder en betere plek
