On a site being cleared for a new theatre, a team from the Museum of London has found the red brick remains of what they believe to be the foundations of The Theatre, permanent home of James Burbage’s group, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, which included an actor named Shakespeare. The Theatre actually may only have had a foundation left in 1599 as legend has it that the structure was dismantled and reassembled on the other side of the Thames as the Globe after Burbage had a dispute with the landowner.
