The original Globe Theatre
In Shakespeare's time, males played all the characters
Because most of the Globe and all of its stage was open air, acoustics
were poor and the actors shouted their lines, stressed their enunciation,
and engaged in exaggerated theatrical gestures
Tragically, the original Globe burned down in 1613 due to a
cannon shot during a performance of Henry VIII
In 1644 Puritans who opposed theatre
performances closed the second Globe
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre was the
inspiration of the actor and director
Sam Wanamaker
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre officially opened by Queen Elizabeth
II on June 12, 1997 with a production of «Henry V»
The exterior of the theatre is a Tudor style building, with a thatched
roof covering the galleries and stage, but leaving the central area
The interior of the
theatre is in striking
contrast to the simple
exterior
Shakespeare’s Globe now houses Shakespeare’s Globe
Theatre, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, a museum and
exhibition space, a gift shop, and a pub/restaurant
