Description:

This book is a gorgeously illustrated tribute to a 400-year-old dream fulfilled. American actor Sam Wanamaker was stunned in the 1960s to learn that a London cabdriver could not show him the site of William Shakespeare's original theater, the famed "wooden O," nor was the site marked in any way. Thus began a modern feat of archaeology, research, craftsmanship, statesmanship, and fundraising that resulted in 1997 in the grand reopening of a rebuilt Globe--accurate down to the circular seating pattern, the wooden benches, the roofless courtyard "groundling" space, the thatched towers, and the flagpole that announces performances. The reborn theater instantly takes its place among the eight theatrical wonders of the world, with each detail lovingly hand-crafted--as is this book.
