I WILL fit in there.

Looking for a diagram of The Globe Theatre?

Hi folks!  Are you one of the many students who keeps finding my post of pictures while in search of a diagram of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre?  I can’t tell if you are trying to find a diagram of the building or stage floorplans.  I’ve become intrigued by this problem and am surprised this information is not already floating around the web.

Prop Girl to the rescue … here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

1. If you have time, you can become the envy of all your friends by ordering this teaching aid contains the Globe floorplans:

Shakespeare’s Theatre, Jackdaw Kit (Primary Source Collection and Guide), Golden Owl, 1973. This is a collection of reproductions of primary source materials that document Shakespeare and his theatre. It contains Globe floorplans, First Folio pages, and modern broadsheets containing historical information about an Elizabethan theatre troupe, among other items. They are available from the Writing Company Shakespeare Catalog, phone 800-421-4246, fax 800-944-5432, Web http://WritingCo.com/Shakespeare, e-mail access@WritingCo.com.

2. If you are a real go-getter and want the best information available, try contacting the Globe Theatre staff.  Surely this information is in the public domain.  You could e-mail the library, or if you’re in England try calling the general number and talking your way into the voicemail box of the Technical Director.  His/her name is not listed on the site, but I assure you there is a TD and he/she has many versions of the floorplans.  Unlike the people in the library, the TD probably does not often receive outside requests and might become interested in your problem.  Be nice and send a thank you note later.  All TDs like cookies/biscuits.

3. Page 11 of this children’s activity book shows the general layout of the building.  I think it’s really cute they included the tree.

4. This is probably proprietary information (whoops), but here are two diagrams I found of the New SL Globe Theatre.  They are supposedly the same as the original Globe; I cannot guarantee they are identical to The Old Globe Theatre now in London.

Good luck and if anyone comes up with a better diagram, send me the link or pdf and I’ll add it to this post.

Cheers

Bad P.R. for sheep?

Things are getting weird… maybe a little too much medical marijuana circulating in California?

It starts out odd then moves on to weird then at 2 minutes 27 seconds hits all-out-freaky-what-the-hell?
