A commemorative plaque for the American actor who moved to London after being included in the "blacklist" of artists suspected of communism. He is known as the one who revived the Globe Theater (1599) in which William Shakespeare operated, and worked to establish a theater that recreates the theater, and is known as Shakespeare’s Globe

The plaque is on the wall of the restored theater
