Council offers the Globe Trust a one acre riverfront site. It includes an extensive development of shops and flats. Through the early Seventies, the Globe Trust sponsors a fund raising series of theatre in a temporary tent that approximated the dynamics of an Elizabethan playhouse. Notable stars included Vanessa Redgrave, directed by Sam Wanamaker. A few days later, elections eject Labour officials who made the deal.
New officials balk at the agreement.
The plan to rebuild Shakespeare's Globe will go forward. Sam is appropriately happy after the four year court battle.
