Flat Stanley at the Globe Theatre

Behind Flat Stanley you can see the Globe Theatre, a recreation of a theatre built in 1599 and where Shakespeare's plays were first performed. The first Globe Theatre was destroyed by fire in 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built, and that one closed in 1642. This recreation was finished in 1997, and is about 750 feet away from the site of the first theatre (so very close, but not exact).

However, they do try to make a play-watching experience as close to the original as possible: the seats are benches with no cushions, people (called groundlings) can stand in the yard for cheaper tickets, and the actors do not use microphones to speak their lines.
