Summary:

"The rebuilding of the Globe theatre (1599-1613) on London's Bankside, a few yards from the site of the playhouse in which many of Shakespeare's plays were first performed, ranks as one of the most imaginative enterprises of recent decades. The realisation of the vision of Sam Wanamaker and his architect Theo Crosby, it has aroused intense interest among scholars and the general public world-wide. Shakespeare's Globe Rebuilt offers a fully illustrated account of the research which has gone into the Globe reconstruction, drawing on the work of leading scholars, theatre people and craftsmen to provide an authoritative view of twenty years of scholarship and the hundreds of practical decisions entailed. Documents of the period, both visual and written, have been explored afresh, the techniques of timber-framed building have been re-learned, the archaeology of the Globe and of the neighbouring Rose playhouse has been further evaluated, the practices of Elizabethan craftsmen in preparing a decorative scheme for the auditorium have been researched, and all of this reconciled with the requirements of the actors and the practical and legal restrictions of modern architectural design. The result is a book which will fascinate scholarly readers and laymen alike." -- Dust Jacket.
