Archaeologists in London announced that they unearthed the 16th-century remains of a playhouse believed to be “The Theater,” where many of the Bard’s early plays were originally performed and where he acted onstage with the theater troupe, Lord Chamberlain’s Men.
According to the AP, once verified as The Theater, the site’s discovery would complete the set of open-air theaters where Shakespeare’s plays were staged.

(Being a Travel Wanker here - BUT!) In case anyone is curious—I don’t recommend the cheap tickets where you have to stand for three (3) hours. Yes, you stand since ushers come around before and during the performance to make sure you stand.
