Reconstruction
The only existing reproduction of the Blackfriars Theatre is located in Staunton, Virginia, U.S. The replica opened its doors in September 2001. The shell of a reconstruction of the Blackfriars Theatre was built next to Shakespeare's Globe prior to the latter's completion. In January 2011 a fundraising campaign began for a year's building work from November 2012 to set it up for use as an indoor theatre, named the Wanamaker Theater, after Sam Wanamaker. This reproduction is not intended to be a replica of the Blackfriars playhouse, and is instead modelled from plans believed to have been drawn by James Burbage, architect of the Globe Theatre.
