They came out of the house to the stage through two large doors. In front of the stage was a large yard. Round the yard there were three balconies, one over the other. Both these balconies and the yard were for the people who came to see the performance. The yard and the greater part of the stage were open to the sky. The actors were often very good.

In 1949, an American actor Sam Wanamaker came to London and decided to visit the site of the famous Globe Theatre where Shakespeare had staged his plays. All he found, however, was a plaque on the wall of a brewery: “here stood the Globe Playhouse of Shakespeare “. Wanamaker was so shocked that he decided to rebuild the Globe. It took many years to raise the money, get permission and find out exactly what the place looked like in the old days.

On June 12 1997, Her Majesty the Queen opened the International Shakespeare Globe Centre, the recreation of Shakespeare’s theatre. Unfortunately, Sam Wanamaker died in 1993 and wasn’t in the audience to see his dream finally come true.
