点评:This is not the Globe Theatre of Shakespeare's time. The original Globe Theatre – which staged Shakespeare's plays and where the Bard wrote "Twelfth Night," "King Lear," and several others – opened in 1599 and burned down in 1613. The second Globe was erected in 1614 but was then torn down in 1644 after all theaters were shuttered by Parliament. The current incarnation – referred to as the Globe Theatre by its staff – has been in operation since 1997 and it is a celebrated performing arts venue dedicated to staging the Bard's plays.
In a nod to its much older namesake, today's open-air theater has a thatched roof – the only one in the city – that does not cover the central yard. Seating is in the round. Or, for a truly memorable experience, you can choose to stand in the yard just below the stage to watch a performance (as many did in Shakespeare's time).
翻译:这不是莎士比亚时代的环球剧院。最初的环球剧院于 1599 年开业,1613 年被烧毁,曾上演莎士比亚的戏剧,莎士比亚也曾在此创作《第十二夜》、《李尔王》等多部作品。第二座环球剧院建于 1614 年,但在议会关闭所有剧院后于 1644 年被拆除。目前的环球剧院——员工称之为环球剧院——自 1997 年以来一直在运营,是一个著名的表演艺术场所,专门上演莎士比亚的戏剧。
为了向更古老的同名剧院致敬,今天的露天剧院有一个茅草屋顶——这是这座城市中唯一一个没有覆盖中央庭院的茅草屋顶。座位是圆形的。或者,为了获得真正难忘的体验,您可以选择站在舞台下方的院子里观看表演(莎士比亚时代许多人都这样做)。
