The Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre as pictured below is a reconstruction of the famed London theatre most associated with Shakespeare. It opened in 1997, and is almost on the exact spot of the original.

The original Globe Theatre in London burned to the ground after a cannon employed for special effects misfired during a performance of William Shakespeare's Henry VIII and ignited the theatre's roof.
