Shakespearean stage uncovered in Norfolk guildhall

An oak stage from Shakespeare's era was found during renovations of St. George's Guildhall in King's Lynn, Norfolk.
The guildhall was originally a religious meeting house before becoming a theatre where Shakespeare performed in 1593.
Shakespeare's acting company was paid by the borough to perform at the guildhall when London theatres were closed due to plague.
The account book for the guildhall confirms Shakespeare's company performed there.
Shakespeare started working in theatre in the 1580s.
