Does the "Elizabethan Theatre" still exist today ?

Question:There are actually several reconstructions of the Globe (or as close as we can come), not just the one in London. There is one reconstruction of SHakespeare's indoor theatre, the Blackfriars. And there are numerous Shakespearean festivals across the world that perform Elizabethan plays, Shakepseare being the foremost of the lot. But "Elizabethan Theatre" usually refers to the era of Queen Elizabeth I, so the best we can hope for in the 21st century is re-staging.

There's a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre in London, where plays are performed in the round as in Elizabethan times.

The term "Elizabethan theatre" usually refers to live performances given in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, in the late 1500s and early 1600s. Obviously, none of that survives today.

"Elizabethan drama," on the other hand, usually refers to plays written during that time. Many such plays have been lost or forgotten, but some, especially those by William Shakespeare, are still performed today.

Some acting companies today build replicas of the stages on which Shakespeare's works were originally performed, and try to present the plays in the style of Elizabethan theatre.
