Lonely Planet review for Rose Theatre
The Rose, for which Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson wrote their greatest plays and in which Shakespeare learned his craft, is unique in that its original 16th-century foundations have been unearthed. They were discovered in 1989 beneath an office building at Southwark Bridge and given a protective concrete cover. Administered by the nearby Globe Theatre, the Rose is open to the public only when matinées are being performed at the Globe Theatre and can only be visited as part of a group.
