  2. Given its history and link to the original, they tried to design the current one as closely as possible to the original one even down to the type of wood used during the construction.
  3. Shakespeare himself was also said to be part owner of the original theatre, and even mentioned it in some of his works.
  4. The theatre has a flagpole and it’s said that you could identify what play was being performed by the flag being flown!
  5. Apparently the original was designed to be similar to the Colosseum in Rome!
  6. During a performance in 1613 the theatre caught fire and burnt to the ground due to small live cannons that were used during the play and the thatched roof caught fire!
