There were two ways to attract people’s attention on the Elizabethan stage. One is using blood and the other is disguise. Usually, calves’ blood was used when they tried this primitive way to attract the audience’s attention. But blood may have had some disadvantages. In the indoor theatres, using blood cannot have been very practical, as it must have been very hard to wash it away. Moreover, the gorgeous costume was one of the reasons why gradually real blood became unused.
The other device to attract the attention is disguise. Most of the famous actors belonged to the theatre, so their face was very familiar to the people. Disguise in that period meant that the actor hid their identity behind the roles. But the audience was able to see through the character and find who they really are. This can be a real fun for those theatre-goers. Compared with blood, disguise is a refined, sophisticated way to attract attentions.
