The Globe

"Human evolution is something that is continuous, and Shakespeare was very tapped into that." - Dr. Farrah Karim-Cooper, Head of Higher Education and Research at Shakespeare's Globe. In 1599, after the dismantling of the first theatre in England (aptly called The Theatre) where Shakespeare worked, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre was built in 1599. Persevering fire and pressure of public opinion, the Globe withstood closures to ultimately be revived through the work of American actor and director Sam Wanamaker. Today, the Globe stands as a reconstructed theatre akin to its original 1599 architecture.
