The Globe Theatre's old-style performance in a particular space re-embodies the presumed original production and adds the imprimaturs of originality and authenticity to the staging. In some ways this is drama as heritage experience, an extension of living history. Revivals can draw parallels or demonstrate how social life has changed as was seen in the restaging of the previously controversial Romans in Britain at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield in 2006. Mainstream highbrow British drama throughout the 2000s was interested in challenging the idea of history as something solid and in contributing to an interrogation of history as something tangible. Whilst musical historicism has been around for centuries, the reuse of instruments and historically informed performance is a relatively new phenomenon, at least insofar as it informs both academia and public forums. Installation and video artists are increasingly interested in the re-enacting of historical moments to scrutinise social interaction and reflect upon postmodern mediated society.
