Shakespeare's Globe in London, United Kingdom, is a modern reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre, which was closely associated with William Shakespeare. Located on the south bank of the River Thames, the theatre opened to the public in 1997 and aims to replicate the experience of Elizabethan-era performances. The open-air theatre features a thrust stage that extends into a circular yard surrounded by three tiers of seating, providing an authentic setting for Shakespearean plays. The Globe also includes an indoor playhouse, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, which offers performances by candlelight, further enhancing the historical atmosphere.
