This Day in History Entry #72

Realism is all well and good
But at times it’s a “can,” not a “should”
Cannons, used for their sound
Also burned to the ground
The Globe Theatre; it was made of wood

Event: A theatre cannon misfires, causing the Globe Theatre to burn down during a production of Henry VIII
Year: 1613
