So they've found The Curtain theatre - Shakespeare's theatre before The Globe.

So cool.

The story was also in The Guardian.

I liked the quote:
    Dominic Dromgoole, artistic director of the reconstructed Globe, described the discovery as "hugely exciting".

    "I love the fact that we are excavating London, and slowly clearing away the miserable piles of Victoriana and Empire, and revealing the wild, anarchic and joyous London which is lurking beneath. It reminds me of the Zocalo in Mexico City, where all the Spanish palaces are slowly sinking into the earth, and the old Mayan temples are being squeezed back up."

You can tell he's in theatre, and not an archaeologist. I don't think that's how it works

I'd love to see where it is on a map of London.
