Shakespeare’s Pop-up Globe Theatre in at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl received its crown jewel this morning … the spectacular Onion Dome.

The Onion Dome comes six weeks into construction of the replica of Shakespeare’s original Globe Theatre built by William Shakespeare in London in 1599.

Shakespeare’s original theatre was constructed in Southwark, London on the South Bank of the River Thames. It was destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuild in 1614 and then demolished in 1644.

The Pop-up Globe has been built to the exact dimensions of the second Globe built in 1614.

The Pop-up Globe will feature ‘As You Like It’, ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, ‘Othello’, Henry V’ and ‘Around The Globe In 60 Minutes’. The season will run from September 21 to November 12, 2017.
