Included are the landmarks of Elizabethan London associated with his plays; depictions of the structure and operations of the Globe Theater; historical sources of the plays in art and architecture surviving today; theatrical traditions that influenced the playwright, like folk festivals and medieval dances; and sites associated with Shakespeare's family and origins. Some of the major dramatic motifs, like the Braggart Warior, are shown through re-enactments of sections of the plays. |
