The Show Must Go On: The Most Spectacular Theaters

Shakespeare’s Globe – London, UK

Shakespeare’s Globe is one of the most famous sites in theater history. The original building was the first purpose-built theater in England, and was the place where many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed for the first time.

Although the original building burned down in 1613, and even the second incarnation of the Globe is gone (it was torn down to make way for housing in 1644), this third Globe, which was opened in 1997, is a faithful recreation of the original building. It’s an amazing place to see a play – they focus on keeping the scenic elements exactly the same as they would have been in Shakespeare’s day.
