Yesterday I went to Shakespeare’s theatre
called the Globe. It was so much fun. About 100 meters away was the museum all
about the globe.
The Globe Is a Tudor design with a thatched
roof and three balconies. If you were rich and important you would sit on the
balconies; even though you could not see very well, you could hear very well. It
also meant everyone else could see you and know that you are rich and
important.
The
Globe was originally built in 1599, destroyed by fire that started when a canon
was fired into the crowd to mark the entrance of King Henry the IVV in
Shakespeare’s play King Henry the IVV in 1613 the sparks from the canon set
fire to the thatched roof and within 2 hours the theatre had burnt down. They rebuilt
it in 1614 exactly the same but without
the thatched roof, and in1644 they demolished it and rebuilt it to it’s current
location.
My favorite part was the costumes and
special effects, look out for ‘costumes and special effects’ on my blog soon.
