Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre

Build a sixteen-sided educational paper theatre inspired by Shakespeare’s Globe. Lift off the roof and remove the front-right quarter to explore the open yard, ground gallery and two raised gallery decks. The kit includes a projecting stage, tiring house, balcony, supported stage canopy, two closed stair structures, eight audience standees, eight applied doors, flag and mast, Bankside display board, backing and print gauges. You receive one 58-page A4 landscape PDF with 78 individually labelled pieces, 20 illustrated steps, four join clinics, a Bankside locator diagram, 18-event timeline, 24 history facts, six learning challenges and source references. This corrected edition replaces the earlier 60-piece count with 78 pieces, including the full deck supports and stair cheeks. The sixteen-sided layout is an educational interpretation, not an exact archaeological reconstruction. Listing imagery shows a dimension-derived digital assembly using the included PDF textures, together with actual printable pages. Printer settings, cardstock thickness, glue and fold accuracy affect practical fit. Dry-fit modules before gluing. Print one-sided at Actual Size / 100% on 160–200 gsm matte card. Verify the 50 mm ruler before cutting. You will also need scissors, PVA glue, a ruler, blunt scoring tool, tweezers and a cutting mat. An adult should operate a craft knife for the windows and sockets. Advanced difficulty 4/5; recommended age 14+ with adult support. Allow several sessions and drying time. Digital download only. No physical model, paper, tools or glue are supplied.
