It seems ironic that it was an American - a nice Jewish boy from Chicago, as Sam Wanamaker himself said - and not an Englishman - who became the champion of Shakespeare in Britain and who gave up so much of his time and careea the best years of his life to work for a dream: that of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre being rebuilt.
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre London - Sam Wanamaker
Wanamaker came to Britain to escape McCarthyism in the 1950's and stayed on to persue his goal of seeing a new Globe rise near its original site on the south bank of the Thames, opposite St. Paul's Cathedral. For more than twenty years he pleaded and argued with England's theatrical establishment to help him realise his dream and eventually his stubborness and unstoppable energy won out and, at the time of his death in December 1993, a new Globe Theatre had begun to rise from the ashes.
His first visit to London was in 1949. He was shocked to see that Shakespeare's theatre, the first setting for Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and Twelfth Night, was commemorated only by a grimy plaque on the wall of an old brewery . He was determined to rebuild an exact replica of the theatre as an authentic venue for Elizabethan drama By 1970 he had founded the Shakespeare Globe Trust and spent the rest of his life determined to resurrect the Globe.
