      This

      the
      stage
      of
      the
      Globe
     
     
      Theatre.
      This
      is
      an
      important
      part
      in
     
     
      completing
      the
      restoration
      of
      Shake-

      Globe

      The
      rebuiling
      of
      this
      theatre
      in
     
     
      London,
      England
      (close
      to
      where
      the
     
     
      original
      Globe
      was
      located)
      has
      become
      an
     
     
      extensive
      project,
      involving
      donations
      from
     
     
      across
      the
      world.
      The
      new
      Globe
      Theatre
     
     
      will
      represent
      art
      and
      drama
      and
      how
      they
     
     
      have
      remained
      a
      constant
      element
      in
      our
     
     
      culture,
      despite
      our
      world’s
      ever
      changing
     
     
      social
      conditions.
      The
      Shakespearean
     
     
      plays
      that
      will
      be
      performed
      on
      this
      ‘‘old-
     
     
      new”
      stage
      will
      show
      audiences
      how
     
     
      Shakespeare
      intended
      his
      plays
      to
      be
      acted
     
     
      and
      watched.
      For
      a
      tiny
      moment
      of
      their
     
     
      lives.
      audiences
      will
      have
      the
      teeling
      of
     
     
      beiny
      captured
      in
      a
      timeless
      theatrical
     
     
      world.
     
    

    
     
      The
      reason
      architects
      are
      only
      now
     
     
      able
      to
      rebuild
      the
      Globe
      Theatre
      to
      a
     
     
      faithful
      representation
      is
      thanks
      to
      two
     
     
      archeaological
      discoveries.
      In
      1988
      an
     
     
      excavation
      produced
      the
      foundations
      of
      the
     
     
      Rose
      Theatre,
      a
      sister
      theatre
      to
      the
      Globe.
     
     
      From
      this
      find,
      historians,
      scholars,
      and
     
     
      architects
      were
      able
      to
      confirm
      what
     
     
      materials
      were
      used
      to
      construct
      these
      two
     
     
      theatres.
      Some
      of
      the
      materials
      used
     
     
      included
      green
      oak,
      water
      reeds,
      sand,
      lime
     
     
      putty,
      and
      goat
      hair,
      all
      of
      which
      are
      being
     
     
      used
      in
      the
      construction
      of
      the
      Globe.
     
    

    
     
      Then
      in
      1989,
      the
      original
      site
      of
      the
      Globe
     
     
      was
      unearthed.
      Full
      excavation
      was
      not
     
     
      possible,
      but
      enough
      evidence
      was
      exposed
     
     
      to
      \erify
      certain
      facts,
      such
      as
      the
      polygo-
     
     
      nal
      shape
      of
      the
      theatre.
      All
      of
      these
     
     
      discoveries
      are
      being
      utilized
      in
      the
     
     
      construction
      of
      the
      new
      Globe
      on
     
     
      Bankside,
      London.
     
    

    
     
      When
      the
      original
      Globe
      Theatre
     
     
      Was
      destroyed,
      many
      valuable
      physical
     
     
      detiuls
      were
      lost.
      However,
      we
      do
      know
     
     
      that
      this
      theatre,
      which
      Shakespeare
      was
     
     
      part
      owner
      of,
      was
      built
      in
      1599
      on
      the
     
     
      outskirts
      of
      London.
      The
      Globe
      was
      an
     
     
      open
      theatre,
      where
      audiences
      enjoyed
     
     
      plays
      either
      standing
      in
      the
      open
      yard,
      or
      in
     
     
      the
      more
      expensive
      covered
      valleries.
     
     
      Unlike
      the
      Skydome,
      the
      Globe
      did
      not
     
     
      have
      a
      retractible
      roof,
      but
      plays
      were
     
     
      performed
      whether
      it
      rained
      or
      shined.
     
     
      Similarly,
      audiences
      and
      actors
      of
      the
     
     
      modern
      world
      are
      going
      to
      have
      to
      deal
     
     
      with
      the
      uncontrollable
      forces
      of
      nature
     
    
   
   
    
     
      while
      taking
      in
      or
      performing
      a
      play
      at
      the
     
     
      Globe
      Theatre.
     
    

    
     
      This
      first
      Globe
      theatre
      was
      burnt
      to
     
     
      the
      ground
      in
      1613
      by
      a
      canon
      ball
      that
      got
     
     
      imbedded
      in
      the
      theatre’s
      thatch
      roof
     
     
      during
      a
      performance.
      The
      Globe
      was
     
     
      rebuilt
      shortly
      after,
      this
      time
      with
      a
      tiled
     
     
      roof.
      Unfavourably
      for
      Shakespeare,
     
     
      religion
      prevailed
      over
      entertainment
     
     
      during
      the
      following
      years
      and
      conse-
     
     
      quently
      the
      Globe
      Theatre
      was
      shut
      down
     
     
      by
      Puritans.
      In
      1644
      Shakespeare’s
      main
     
     
      performance
      site
      was
      completely
      demol-
     
     
      ished,
      and
      what
      was
      known
      as
      the
      Globe
     
     
      Theatre
      appeared
      to
      become
      dematerialized
     
     
      to
      a
      mere
      historical
      name.
