Actresses Kate Duchene (L) and Miranda Raison perform as Queen Katherine and Anne Boleyn in Shakespeare's Henry VIII at the Globe theatre in London July 6, 2010. William Shakespeare's Globe theater has finally put a 400-year-old taboo to rest by staging the play which burned the original house down during the Bard's lifetime. The theater on the south bank of the River Thames in London, which burned to the ground during the staging of a play about Henry VIII in 1613 and was rebuilt in the late 1990s, has staged the first version of the play that has come to be called "Henry VIII" since that fateful day.
