{"product_id":"shakespeares-theatre-9780199105663","title":"Shakespeare's Theatre","description":"\u003cp\u003eShakespeares Theatre is a tale of two theatres: the original Globe on the bank of the Thames in London  opened in 1599  and its modern reconstructed twin  built in almost exactly the same spot and opened nearly 400 years later. William Shakespeare wrote his finest plays with the Globe in mind  and acted on its stage as a member of the troupe that performed there. This lavishly illustrated book  issued in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Globe  chronicles the original setting and use of the theatre as well as the reconstruction  over the past 15 years  of the imposing structure in modern London. June Everett  Artist of the Record at the Globe Theatre  has commemorated the rebuilding project--from the laying of the foundation to the opening ceremony and first performance on its stage--in a series of inspired watercolors that evoke the atmosphere of the site. The paintings are supplemented by photographs and contemporary drawings that perfectly illustrate Andrew Langleys lively and accessible text. A chronology of Shakespeares life and lists of his plays in order of first performance and of the London theatres at the beginning of the 17th century round off this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929581617205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199105669","price":56.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199105663.jpg?v=1794197347","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/shakespeares-theatre-9780199105663","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
