The more theatres you see, the more you realize that there is no such thing as a "normal theatre". Your idea of what a "normal theatre" is comes only from your limited experience. There are some features of the Globe Theatre in London (more properly called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, opened in 1997). It is a replica of a sixteenth-century theatre, which makes it unusual but not unique. There are a number of others. It is an open-air theatre, which is also unusual, but such theatres also exist in, for example, Central Park in New York City. It is certainly a theatre visited by many tourists but the same can be said for any well-known theatre in the world.
