In this undated photo made available in by the Museum of London, in London, Wednesday Aug. 6, 2008, an archeologist works on uncovering the remains of one of London's earliest theatres where a young William Shakespeare is thought to have trod the boards. The find, believed to be a section of one of London's earliest playhouses, was unearthed as the site was being prepared for the construction of a new theatre. Experts have thought for many years that an open air playhouse, called The Theatre, stood in the Shoreditch area of London but its exact location had remained uncertain. A young William Shakespeare trod the boards at the theatre, which opened in 1576, as part of The Lord Chamberlain's Men company of players.(AP Photo/Museum of London)
