Cloak and Dagger Studios (CnD) and Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) have teamed up to create the first ever digital animation of Shakespeare’s original London playhouse, The Theatre. The CGI animation is based entirely on archaeological evidence unearthed by MOLA and offers people today a chance to view the Theatre as Shakespeare would have himself in 1595.

Images from the animation feature in Shakespeare and Us presented by Simon Schama as part of the BBC’s Shakespeare Season.
