There was none. But a flag flew over the theatre on play days to advertise performances. If a tragedy was scheduled, the flag was black; if a comedy was scheduled, the flag was white; if a history play was scheduled, the flag was red.
Other Playhouses in London
Before the Globe and other theatres opened, playwrights between 1550 and 1576 staged their productions in inns, halls, public squares, and other venues. Among the most frequently used spaces were the yards of inns. Joseph Quincy Adams wrote in Shakespearean Playhouses:
Before the building of regular playhouses the itinerant troupes of actors were accustomed, except when received into private homes, to give their performances in any place that chance provided, such as open street-squares, barns, town-halls, moot-courts, schoolhouses, churches, and—most frequently of all, perhaps—the yards of inns. These yards, especially those of carriers' inns [inns accommodating deliverers of messages and merchandise], were admirably suited to dramatic representations, consisting as they did of a large open court surrounded by two or more galleries.
