<P> A modern reconstruction of the theatre, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997, with a production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the original design, based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre . </P> <P> In February 2016, a temporary full - scale replica of the Second Globe Theatre, called the Pop - up Globe and based on scholarly reanalyses of the surviving evidence for the 1614 building, opened in downtown Auckland, New Zealand, and presented a three - month season of Shakespeare's plays performed by a house company and by visiting local production groups . It was reconstructed in a second Auckland location to host a three - month 2017 season . </P> <P> The Globe's actual dimensions are unknown, but its shape and size can be approximated from scholarly inquiry over the last two centuries . The evidence suggests that it was a three - storey, open - air amphitheatre approximately 100 feet (30 m) in diameter that could house up to 3,000 spectators . The Globe is shown as round on Wenceslas Hollar's sketch of the building, later incorporated into his etched Long View of London from Bankside in 1647 . However, in 1988--89, the uncovering of a small part of the Globe's foundation suggested that it was a polygon of 20 sides . </P> <P> At the base of the stage, there was an area called the pit, (or, harking back to the old inn - yards, yard) where, for a penny, people (the "groundlings") would stand on the rush - strewn earthen floor to watch the performance . During the excavation of the Globe in 1989 a layer of nutshells was found, pressed into the dirt flooring so as to form a new surface layer . Vertically around the yard were three levels of stadium - style seats, which were more expensive than standing room . A rectangular stage platform, also known as an apron stage, thrust out into the middle of the open - air yard . The stage measured approximately 43 feet (13.1 m) in width, 27 feet (8.2 m) in depth and was raised about 5 feet (1.5 m) off the ground . On this stage, there was a trap door for use by performers to enter from the "cellarage" area beneath the stage . </P>
