A web site about building a replica of William Shakespeare’s 1599 Globe playhouse near its original site in London. It’s packed with material about the theatre—its history, its cultural legacy and the reconstruction project now finished after a long campaign.
See also this slide show of pictures and stories of my own visit to the Globe project in 1996.
