The Wooden "O"

12^th June  - According to the Shakespearean scholar Steve Sohner, on this day in 1599, the original  “Globe Theatre” was opened in Southwark (see also the April 22^nd blog on “Shakespeare in London”).   

The site of the original “Globe” is visited on our Thursday afternoon walk “Historic Southwark – Shakespeare’s London and more”, together with Sam Wanamaker’s reconstruction  on Bankside.

A special themed walk on “The London that Shakespeare knew” is also available on request.
