The author argues for the acknowledgment of the role played by University of Alberta Professor Jorn Orrell in the original design of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, located on the South Bank of the Thames in London, England. The author addresses the proposition that the 17th-century drawings at Worcester College in Oxford, England were commissioned for the Cockpit theater, later called the Phoenix playhouse in Drury Lane. Orrell's campaign to deduce the identity and shape of playhouses is noted.
