Anytime visit #2-- Globe Theatre

Here is to anytime visit #2!!! 

The globe theatre is one of what used to be four theaters. It was originally built by William Shakespeare's theatre company. Where the theatre that stands today is actually one of many sites/buildings. The original site is a couple blocks away from where it is now. It was there until the landlord wanted to raise the rent of the site they told him they didn't want to pay that much. He went away for Christmas and came back to find that the whole building had been taken apart and reassembled on the ne grounds where it now exits. Only thing is due to the great London fire the building that is there today is not the same it is how they believe it existed with minor new changes due to new building codes and things of that matter.  

I thought this was an amazingly beautiful place. In high school we spent a lot of time learning about Shakesphere and being able to see the building that he performed his plays in was a whole new perspective. It was so cool to see the trap door in the floor that they use for the plays and the two columns that are actually live trees, and also to once again be reminded about how the classes sit in the theatre is very different and very cool. I think that this particular site applies most to my studies for my humanities class-- art, music, and ideas's. Doing this tour showed me many sides of the theatre from the architectural features of it to the plays inside the theatre it all shows many aspects of art!!!!!
