Methods of Distraction

Theatre anyone?

I'm going to step away from the annoyance I feel about the endless movie remakes and CD re-releases going on at present. Instead, I'm going to share my excitement and show my inner geek.

According to the Agence France-Presse, archaeologists in England have discovered remains of a 16th century playhouse known as The Theatre. Now, I know that finding an old building in Europe isn't a surprise, but the significance of this find is that The Theatre was the first professional home of William Shakespeare. The now famous play write acted on the stage and that particular building was the first home of such plays as "Romeo and Juliet" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

I have been to England I was able to visit the new Globe Theatre, which is a replica of Shakespeare's second stage home, but to actually visit the remains of the original site would be more inspiring.
