I had the pleasure of seeing A&C and JC and otherwise spending a lot of
time at the Globe this summer.  A splendid experience from start to
finish, but the performances themselves weren't remarkable.  Probably
anyone with an interest in the period can appreciate a Shakespeare's
Globe production, but quite frankly, the RSC and plenty of other nearby
Shakespeare is considerably better theater.

It's most unlikely. The stage/yard boundary had to be impermeable and it
seems that at the Fortune (modeled on the Globe) spikes around the yard
wall and stage edge kept the yard audience in its place.
