    Open AccessAnn ThompsonARTICLERevista Alicantina de Estudios…2012

    The reconstruction of the Globe Theatre on London’s Bankside had historical accuracy as one of its aims, both in terms of the design and construction of the building itself and, more controversially, in terms of issues to do with performance.
