The Globe

Theater

#1~

The Globe Theater• The Globe Theater is probably the most

important structure in Shakespeare's life. Built in 1599 by the Chamberlain's Company, on the shore of the Thames River in London. It was where Shakespeare showed his plays to the people of England. It could hold up to 3,000 people. There were no lights so all plays were in the day on good weather. The stage was built with unique things like trap doors in its floor for instance, and distinct sections (eg. sub-stage space toward its back lip for parallel action)

• The original Globe Theatre stood until 29 June, 1613. Sadly its roof was set ablaze by a cannon fired in a performance of Henry VIII and the Globe burned to the ground. By this time, Shakespeare was in semi-retirement. The Globe was built again in 1614, with tiles replacing straw on its roof. In 1642 a quarter-century after Shakespeare's death, a new anti-theater regime got power in England and closed down all of the country's theaters. Two years later, Cromwell's round heads tore down the Globe, leveled the site and constructed tenement housing upon it.
