Shakespeare's ''The Theatre'' Possibly Located..
by Milota Sidorova

I remember what the famous songwriter Rufus Wainwright told during interview on CNN talks. He mentioned & ''I have Shakespeare in my heart!''
During the history, this Stanford-upon-Avon native had become eternal light among poets, moreover he had become what we call & the world's heritage.
And now, just few days ago, people of London, a place where middle aged play writer stroke for his fortune, people of London have stunned in another eureka moment.
The theater where William Shakespeare performed some of his immortal plays, has been possibly located in eastern London, reported archaeologists digging out their routine research weeks, before another developer's project finds its place in here.

However, the miracle has flashed British press. The basement, located on eastern shore of the river Thames could be famous ''The Theatre'' built in 1576. The Theatre hosted Shakespeare's troop - the Lord Chamberlain's Men until 1590s. It is one of three London's theaters Shakespeare had been using. The Rose theater's location was discovered in 1989 in Bankside, just south of the River Thames in central London, and the Globe theater is nearby. A replica of the Globe was built on a site close to the original and opened in 1997.

Although there's been so much discussion about the genuiness of the location, archaeologist operate with the age and the shape of angled walls, similar to other Shakespeare's theaters. In fact, there's been no map, no image proving the location, only a vague description.

Fair enough, apart from the genuiness of the theater, how can it impact nor update Shakespeare's case?
According Martin Wiggins, a fellow at the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham, the reconstruction, the shape and the atmosphere of the place, the Theatre had great impact on play writing, so the scene and background making. The plays have been fitting exactly on the place where they had been performed.

"It's in the right place, it's at the right angle to be a polygonal shape," Jo Lyon, senior archaeologist at the Museum of London said. "It's a pretty high possibility."
