The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. |
The Globe Theatre was a theatre in [[London]] that is most closely associated with the famous playwright [[William Shakespeare]]. The theatre was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built a year later in the same location, and then closed in 1642. In 1997, a modern reconstruction of the Globe was built close to the original theatre. Much like the original Globe, the reconstruction also featured a whispering gallery, a room designed such that the acoustics could easily be carried around the entire gallery. |

A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997 approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre. From 1909, the current Gielgud Theatre was called "Globe Theatre", until it was renamed in 1994. (Information from [https://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]) |
