William Shakespeare 1.	When the Globe Theatre was built and where?

The famous Globe Theatre was built in 1599, by the brothers Cuthbert and Richard Burbage.

It is located on the South bank of the river which is in London, United Kingdom.

2.	The history of the Globe Theatre

Brothers Cuthbert and Richard Burbage had built a theatre called The Theatre. The theatre was closed in 1597, when the owner of the land on which it stood, threatened to pull it down for non-payment.

The Burbage’s and their friends undid The Theatre and carried the materials to Southwark, where the Swan and the Rose theatres already stood. They reunited the timbers and called the new building the Globe Theatre, because of its circular or octagonal shape.

The Burbage brothers were given half the shares because of their contribution of the timber. Other shares were paid by Shakespeare and his company.

The Globe Theatre burns down. On June 29, 1613 during a performance of Shakespeare “Henry VIII” During the performance, a cannon fired into a stream of light causing the stream of light to set fire. The fire then spread to the roof and surrounded the whole theatre within one hour.

The American actor Sam Wanamaker had recognized the love Shakespeare had for that globe theatre because he did all his plays in it. So he organised to re-build the theatre, near to its original site using modern methods and materials, reproducing a copy, exact in every detail.

3.	How and why the theatre is used?

Plays performed at the Globe Theatre were divided into three types - Histories, Comedies and Tragedies.
