Behind this door are the remains of the Rose Theatre where Shakespeare and Marlow performed. It is opened to the public from time to time Shoreditchhighstreet image from www.flickr.com An interesting bit of old London Wall in the foreground and the site of something even more interesting to the right of the picture. It is the site of the house where Shakespeare lodged in 1612, though there is nothing there to inform people.
