Except right now it's really just kind of a basement. Visitors stand on a viewing platform in front of a water-covered concrete cap; underneath the cap, the theater remains are kept moist with a system of irrigation pipes and sand. (Apparently, the Thames mud is what preserved the remains in the first place.) The site can't be fully excavated until the building is pulled down, sometime within the next 10 years. Until then, for an admission price of $4.80, visitors get to see a pool of water, some concrete and a video of the theater's history narrated by actor Ian McKellen, which also includes scenes from "Shakespeare in Love." Très romantique!
