[1] The Careys came to Dunedin intending to start a theatrical company, despite being aware of Sybil Thorndyke's description of the city as "the graveyard of theatre".

[6] The Careys first staged productions in the garden and drawing-room, but began excavations to add a theatre off the former drawing room in 1961.

[8] A complete list of plays performed at the Globe up to 1973 is included as an appendix in Rosalie Carey's book A Theatre in the House.

[1][9] Academic, actor and playwright Simon O'Connor spent three years at the Globe after reading a Listener article about the Careys.

[11] The Globe continues to entertain Dunedin, with recent productions including Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart, adapted by Keith Scott, in 2016, and Shakespeare's Richard II in 2019 both receiving praise for Charmian Smith's historical costumes.
