The teams: Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

The original Globe Theatre was built in 1599 by the playing company Lord Chamberlain's Men, to which Shakespeare belonged,  after the theatre was destroyed by fire on June 29, 1613.

Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon, England. Shakespeare's father was a glovemaker and trader in agricultural goods. Shakespeare became a member of the town council and held offices in the town's government.

At some time in his early twenties, he went to London and became a member of an acting company.

Shakespeare soon began writing plays for his company. He continued in this double activity (actor and writer) until about 1612, when he retired to Stratford (he was 48). In his approximately 24-year career, he wrote 36 plays. His dramas include tragedies, comedies, plays on English history, and romantic tragicomedies and he wrote poems too.

In 1970, the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wanamaker founded the Shakespeare’s Globe , with the objective of building a faithful recreation of Shakespeare's Globe close to its original location at Bankside, Southwark. Many detractors maintained that a faithful Globe reconstruction was impossible to achieve due to the complications in the 17th century.

In fact the Globe stands a few hundred yards from its original site.

The theatre opened in 1997 under the name of "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre" and has staged live plays every summer.

The works which have been depicted in the globe theater are different but we will focus on Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy which belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity.

The tragedy tells the story of two young teens, Romeo and Juliet who fall in love but their love is impossible because of their two families, the Montagues and Capulets are in contrast.

After many violent clashes between families, the two decide to marry in secret with the help of Friar Laurence.

After the marriage there are a series of crimes which force Romeo to leave Verona.

Juliet with the help of the monk takes a substance that will make her sleep for twenty hours, the monk is to inform Romeo but does not receive the letter. Informed of the 'death' of Juliet Romeo returns to Verona, where Juliet lies sleeping, takes a deadly poison to remain near his beloved. The play ends with the death of Juliet who  kills herself as a result of the atrocious pain of the death of Romeo.
