Le théâtre est rond ou polygonal; la cour à ciel ouvert s'entoure de deux ou trois étages de galeries de bois; la scène, surélevée à hauteur d'homme, s'avance dans cette cour, entourée de trois côtés par les spectateurs; des portes s'ouvrent dans son fond et un balcon surplombe, un toit, soutenu aux angles par deux colonnes, la domine, dont le dessous est aménagé comme le sera le cintre de la scène moderne. Ainsi le jeu peut-il se déplacer successivement ou se dérouler simultanément sur le proscenium limité par une tapisserie tendue entre les deux colonnes, sur la scène même, sur l'arrière-scène découverte par l'ouverture des portes de fond, et sur le balcon. S'il n'y a point de décors proprement dits, les praticables, les draperies, les rideaux, les nombreux accessoires, permettent des combinaisons de jeu fort diverses et infiniment suggestives. 1, record 2, French, - sc%C3%A8ne%20%C3%A9lisab%C3%A9thaine
