The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated William Shakespeare. It was Built in 1599 by Shakespeare’s play company called the lord Chamberlains men. It was built on the land owned by Thomus Brend, who later inherited to his son Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew Brend, unfortunatly it was destroyed by fire on 29 of june 1613. In 1614 a second globe theatre was built in June and closed in 1642.

A modern remake/reconstruction of the globe, named Shakespears Globe, which opened in 1997 approximently 750 feet (250 meters) from the original theater, it was said to be really noisy and was sort of like a market people would sell stuff thereb would be pickpockets and loads of people would talk through the performance. The higher up in the theatre the more money you would have to pay. The cheapest place to watch a performance would be to stand up on the bottom, which means if they were watching a really long play lets say four hours they would have to stand up for that long. The Globe was owned by actors who were shareholders of the Lord Chamberlains Men. The names of some of them were Richard Burbage, Cuthbert Burbage and John Hemminge. That’s the globe, Shakespeare’s theatre.
