Archaeologists Dig for Clues at Historic Elizabethan Playhouse

Heather Knight, senior archaeologist leading the dig, said, 'We hope to find out more about the building of the theatre where Henry V was first performed, which will give us a clearer picture of how Elizabethan playhouses were used and the evolution of theatre. 'There is also the possibility of finding relics of props, costumes, or items used by the audience, including food remains or drinking vessels, which could tell us more about theatre productions and culture at the time. We look forward to sharing our findings.'
