This is the third incarnation of the Globe. The first, which Shakespeare worked in, was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt only to be vandalised by Cromwell's Puritan thugs. It has been rebuilt once more, as close to the original design as possible.
It is open air but sheltered. A canopy extends over the stage and the tiered seating for the audience is under cover too. People can buy tickets to allow them to stand to watch the performance, but they are not under a roof so they could get wet if it rained.
Here is Sean looking happy as we are about to go in.
This shows how the Globe is both open air and sheltered
