Ever since archaeologists found the remains of the Rose Theater in 1989 — where Christopher Marlowe's dramas were once enacted — there's been an explosion of research into the Elizabethan playhouses. Scholars still haven't answered many puzzles — they're not even certain how many sides the Globe had.
