This Gallery is devoted to aspects of the reconstruction of Shakespeare's original Globe Theatre near its original site in Southwark, on the right bank of the River Thames opposite the City of London. The principal sections cover six main topics: the theatrical precursors of the Globe (8.1); the rebuilding process up to 1998 (8.2 ); some early uses of the rebuilt Globe (8.3; some illustration of various aspects of the first performance of Much Ado About Nothing on an early version of the stage of the new Globe (9.4); and the completed Globe and its operation, including what a drama group experiences while exploring uses of the stage of the new Globe (8.5). The images in this gallery are from photographs by Velma Bourgeois Richmond, unless indicated otherwise, and are for scholarly and educational uses. For a fuller discussion of the performance considerations involved in this gallery please click on the first image inside its penultimate section: 8.4. Much appreciated funding for the digitization of the relevant images in this gallery was provided by the Office of Educational Development U.C. Berkeley.
