About Globe Theatre

Globe Theatre - Cardinal Cap Alley | Secret World Trip Planner

Costruito nel 1599 dalla compagnia di Shakespeare (the Lord Chamberlain’s Men), il Globe prese fuoco a causa di un incendio nel 1613. Le fiamme furono scaturite da una palla di cannone sparata durante uno spettacolo che distrusse le sue scenografie, ricostruite poi nel 1614. L’intera struttura fu poi demolita nel 1644.Il complesso attuale è una replica ed è stato costruito nel 1997, sulle rive del Tamigi, con documenti storici usati come guida. Quasi identico nell’aspetto all’originale, l’attuale Globe Theatre presenta caratteristiche moderne come la cavea in cemento. L’edificio, comunque, possiede diversi elementi dell’antica struttura elisabettiana. Un esempio è il tetto di paglia, l’unico consentito a Londra dal Grande Incendio del 1666.Shakespeare ha messo in scena molte opere in questo luogo, superando diverse difficoltà: «As You Like It», «Hamlet», «Twelfth Night», «King Lear», «Macbeth» e «Othello». È «ritornato» nel suo teatro anche grazie a «Shakespeare in Love» (1999), film vincitore di 7 Oscar.
