The original Globe Theatre may have burned down in the early 1600s, but a replica was built in the 1990s to introduce modern audiences to the structure of Renaissance theater.

This replica of Shakespeare's Globe uses the same layout as the original: A stage open to the ravages of weather, with three rows of covered seats in a ring facing the stage, as well as standing room for the "groundlings" at the foot of the stage.
