Answer 2

In 1596, a Dutch student by the name of Johannes de Witt attended a play in London at the Swan Theatre. While there, de Witt made a drawing of the theatre's interior. A friend, Arend van Buchell, copied this drawing and in doing so contributed greatly to posterity. The sketch is the only surviving contemporary rendering of the interior of an Elizabethan-era public theatre. As such, it's the closest thing historians have to an original picture of what the Globe may have looked like in its heyday.

The only other reference to the Globe is in Shakespeare's "Henry V" in the Prologue to the play:

But pardon, and gentles all,
The flat unraised spirits that have dared
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
So great an object: can this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt?


Good luck.

Answer 3

If you mean the original Globe theatre in London, there isn't one. You can probably do a Google search for a good speculative diagram, but there are no records of what the Globe actually looked like, and it has long since been destroyed.

If you mean the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California, try their website (Google it).

Answer 4

For the best idea of what the old Globe in London looked like, the best thing is to look at the new Globe, since it is based on the best estimates of what the old one looked like. The only difference is that it is in a slightly different position (about 100m removed from the original site).
