Globe Theatre
Globe Theatre, London.
The stage at the original Globe Theatre was a large platform that protruded into the middle of the yard. It measured approximately 43 or 44 feet (about 13 meters) across and was 27 or more feet (some 8 meters) deep.1
The platform was raised 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the ground and was protected by a cover known as the heavens, which was upheld by two substantial stage posts.1
