Pictures from the Reconstruction

The following pictures were taken on 10 September, 1996, by Dr. Franklin J. Hildy at the new Globe.

The first picture to the right shows the plans for the Prologue Season's temporary stage. Scholars have debated just how ornate the Elizabethan era stages were. Some evidence describes wood painted to look like marble, and that is the choice the new Globe designers will make when the final design for the stage is set during upcoming meetings.

Here is the real life version of the stage and tiring house.

The plans begin to live with the actors in Elizabethan dress on the new stage. This shot is from the costume study done to observe how different colors would look.

This last shot shows the stage form far enough away to include the audience. We can begin to get an idea of what it would be like to experience a production at the new Globe.
