What is the Globe Theatre? - Behind the News
A pop-up version of the famous Globe Theatre has popped up in Sydney. The original was built in 1599 and it's where Shakespeare introduced the world to his plays. But how was this famous playhouse different from the kind of theatres we see today?
“To be or not to be? That is the question.”
“Romeo, oh Romeo. Where for art thou Romeo?”
“Double toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble.”
These are just some of the very famous lines from some very famous plays, written by one very famous playwright and they were all originally performed at one very famous theatre, the Globe. The Globe was first built in London way, way, way back in 1599 by a theatre company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. And you've probably heard of their playwright, a guy called William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare is a bloke who 400 years ago sat down and wrote a bunch of the most well-known plays in history (and we're still performing them today).
A lot of Shakespeare's plays continue to inspire new movies all the time, like the Lion King. In fact, you've probably seen some of Shakespeare’s work without even realising it.
Unfortunately, the original Globe burnt down a few centuries ago. They did build another one though, just around the corner from the original. Which if you are lucky enough you can visit one day and see some of these iconic plays in action. But if you can't make it over there don't worry because this guy has created a full-size pop up version. So, Australians can experience what it was like to see a show back in Shakespeare’s day too.
There are a few big things that make the Globe different to anything you'd see today. It has three storeys of seating and can hold up to 3,000 people. But at the base of the stage there's an area called the pit where people stand and watch the performance. Although there's also no roof so if you're standing you might want to bring an umbrella just in case.

Places to see in ( London - UK ) Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
Places to see in ( London - UK ) Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
Shakespeare's Globe is the complex housing a reconstruction of the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse associated with William Shakespeare, in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames. The original Shakespeare's Globe was built in 1599, destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644. The modern Shakespeare's Globe Theatre reconstruction is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings. Shakespeare's Globe is considered quite realistic, though contemporary safety requirements mean that it accommodates only 1400 spectators compared to the original theatre’s 3000.
Shakespeare's Globe was founded by the actor and director Sam Wanamaker, built about 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre and opened to the public in 1997, with a production of Henry V. The site also includes the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, an indoor theatre which opened in January 2014. This is a smaller, candle-lit space based on the indoor playhouses of Jacobean London. The Sackler Studios, an educational and rehearsal studio complex, is situated just around the corner from the main site. There is also an exhibition about Shakespeare's life and work, and regular tours of the two theatres.
In 1970, American actor and director Sam Wanamaker founded the Shakespeare Globe Trust and the International Shakespeare Globe Centre, with the objective of building a faithful recreation of Shakespeare's Globe close to its original location at Bankside, Southwark. This inspired the founding of a number of Shakespeare's Globe Centres around the world, an activity in which Wanamaker also participated. Many detractors maintained that a faithful Globe reconstruction was impossible to achieve due to the complications in the 16th century design and modern fire safety requirements; however, Wanamaker persevered in his vision for over twenty years, and a new Globe theatre was eventually built according to a design based on the research of historical adviser John Orrell.

In Search Of History - England's Theaters of Blood (History Channel Documentary)
Narrated by David Ackroyd
In 1600, London citizens poor and rich attend the theater to enjoy grand spectacles of drama, music and dance. These huge playhouses like Shakespeare's Globe Theatre offer the highest form of entertainment to the masses of Elizabethan England. Nowhere inthe world is there a better stage. The impresarios are rich; the actors are worshipped and the playwrights immortalized. Yet in 1642, the stroke of a pen wipes British theater off the face of the earth. The stages are demolished and many plays are lost. What was it like to experience the grand theater of old England, and why was it outlawed?
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London
A pan-around of Shakespeare's (reconstructed) Globe Theatre in London. We were groundlings, standing on the floor immediately in front of the stage. (Besides being cheaper, it's also quite a unique experience in itself!) This is where, in the 16th century, the peasants watched the show; those with more money sat in the seats encircling the stage. The show that night was the Comedy of Errors. The only thing really spoiling the experience was the inevitable airplanes flying overhead.
