June 29th, it's the year 1613:
🎭 Shakespeare's play Henry VIII is just being performed. For the stage effect, the company fires a cannon and sets the Globe Theater on fire. Here Shakespeare had premiered many of his later world-famous plays. From 1598 he was even one of the four actors who bought shares of the theatre. Within two hours his creative home, the stage he wrote for, is destroyed by fire.
🏗️ Centuries later, American actor Sam Wanamake has a vision of rebuilding the Globe Theatre. The Queen opened the reconstructed Globe Theatre in 1997 and since then drama is back on stage - just like in Shakespeare's day.
