'Shakespeare in Love' to Be Reborn as Theater
Backstage: "In a case of life imitating art imitating life, a British theater company has announced plans to rebuild an Elizabethan playhouse using the set from hit film 'Shakespeare in Love.'"

I think that this is a great idea. It is sad to see all the hard work that is put into a film production locked up in storage years after it is no longer needed. Especially Shakespeare in Love. It was really a beautiful, and historic, movie. This theater is really going to be so beautiful, and is getting five star renovations. I also really do like the idea that they are taking an educational and historic stance on this. Shakespeare is very monumental, and someone whose work will not be forgotten, and to give the community a way in which to understand him and the times he lived in is always invaluable. I also appreciate the fact that they are incorporating it in a new way, they're not just making a museum, but they're creating a space that represents Shakespeare and his life, in its entirety through representation and the actual purpose of the space.
I love the fact that this Company wants to bring a permanent structure to the northern part of England. Both London and Stratford-upon-Avon are located on the southern part of England. As they said in the article Shakespeare is studied by all of the Country because he is such an integral part of their history. They already have the theater and with some additional funds they can make it a permanent structure. Good for them for caring enough about spreading theater to the rest of the people.
