A period in European history that started in about 500 A.D. and lasted until 1400 A.D.\n\nFor the some good information about this period, see:\n\nMedieval History\nhttp://members.aol.com/TeacherNet/Medieval.html\n\nTIMEREF.COM\nhttp://www.btinternet.com/~timeref/\n\nMidieval English Towns\nhttp://www.trytel.com/~tristan/towns/towns.html\n\nMedieval Sourcebook\nhttp://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook.html

The real life Romeo and Juliet died in Verona , Italy in 1303.  So I assume it is based on that actual time.  It is believed that the play was first performed between 1594-1595.  A little more than you asked, but I hoped it helped.

The Queen, Buckhingham Palace, Stonehenge, Castles all over the place, Museums everywhere, Stratford-Upon-Avon (where Shakespeare came from), Sherwood Forest (where Robin Hood lived), Nuneaton (where George Eliot lived), I'm sure there's plenty more but I can't think at the moment, Stratford's a very nice place though, as is most of Warwickshire.\nOh and you can go on a steam train in Wales, and see Loch Ness in Scotland and Hadrian's Wall.

There are a lot of ways.  One of the major ones I think of involve the "Deus Ex Machina."  Literally "the god in the machine," the ancient Greek playwrights were good at painting themselves into a corner and suddenly they would send down a god, often in a machine of some kind, to "save the day."\n\nSome Medieval and Elizabethan writers took this concept and modified it and when THEY got painted into a corner, they would use the "god" of their time: the king, usually, or some other royal figure.\n\nNowadays, to use a "Deus ex Machina" is considered almost pathetic because if you write a good play, you should never have to "save the day" using a God or a King (or any randomly-inserted character at the end of the story) to bail you out.\n\nThat's one way drama has changed.  Another is the "elitism" that has accompanied drama late in the last century and in this one.  In the Greek and Roman times, as well as Shakespeare's day, just anyone went to the theatre.  Now, people go to plays if their parents also went to plays and schools feel obligated to drag kids because otherwise they will not go at all.\n\nAnother way is the split between the "mega musical" experience (think Andrew Lloyd Webber) and the traditional drama.  The latter nowadays usually have as few sets, characters, and costumes as possible because, quite frankly, it's expensive to put on a show and we aren't patient with reusing the same set, actors, and costumes over and over again the way they would have been in, say, Shakespeare's day.  The only time we can financially support such a "big" effort now is to mount a big musical (where tickets are pricey).\n\nI'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but those are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

This really depends where you are seated.  Lots of tourists watch West End plays and most of them are casually dressed.  Better stay on the safe side and wear something dressy but not too dressy.

It's called an anachronism. Like an actor wearing a wristwatch in a play that takes place in the 16th century.

The most famous literary work from that period is The Pilgrim's Progress.  It is considered a Puritan classic.  Read about it at Wikipedia.  \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pilgrim's_Progress

"In 1605 a group angry Catholics in England plotted to kill King James I. Believing him to be tyrannical for upholding the recently deceased Queen Elizabeth I's anti-Catholic legislation, they planned to blow up Parliament on the day it opened. \n\nThe plot failed and the schemers were executed. However, what resulted from this attempted assassination of the king was extreme unrest among the citizens of England. Treason became something tangible. \n\nCould anyone be trusted? Could the king be trusted? Partially in response to this political intrigue, around 1606 Shakespeare wrote one of his bloodiest tragedies, Macbeth, to be performed at the court of King James I."
