Shakespeare's Globe is a theatre in London opened in 1997, intended to be a working replica of the Globe Playhouse built in 1599 and destroyed by fire in 1613. The inspiration for the project came from American actor Sam Wanamaker, who was astonished, when he arrived in London, that there was no memorial to the most famous theatre of Shakespeare's day. The purpose of having a replica is to commemorate the earlier theatre, and at the same time allowing people to experience how plays were performed using Elizabethan staging.
