Shakespeare's Globe, a modern theatre built in 1997, is a replica of the Globe Playhouse, an Elizabethan theatre built by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage and the carpenter Peter Street in 1599. Like it, and like all theatres of that time and most nowadays, there is a trapdoor in the stage. This enables actors to suddenly appear or disappear from below (as the witches do in Macbeth) in a puff of smoke. It also could be used to represent a hole in the ground, like Ophelia's grave in Hamlet, or the mine being dug under the walls of Harfleur in Henry V.
