Christmas Miracle?, A

Synopsis
Podcast from Shakespeare’s Globe presented by Michelle Terry. In this Christmas edition, Dr Will Tosh debunks some of the myths surrounding the dismantling in December 1958 of the Globe Theatre in Shoreditch. This was where Shakespeare’s company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, had performed his plays until a dispute with the landlord. After their departure, the theatre, legend has it, was reconstructed in Southwark, its timber transported to the other side of the frozen river Thames. But is this true?
