Overview




History

In 1576, during the first years of Elizabeth I’s reign, an actor/manager named James Burbage built a Theatre in Shoreditch. [1] It was the first built playhouse in London. In the 1580's, Shakespeare joined the resident troupe at the Theatre. The company, which was later known as the King’s Men, remained there for 20 years. Then in 1597, James Burbage died.Then in 1598, the company leased land near the Rose and demolished the Theatre. In early 1599, the Globe Theatre opened and started showing Shakespeare’s plays.[1] According to the Shakespearean Globe website, sadly in 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, a stage cannon lit fire to the roof and the theatre burned to the ground. The theatre was rebuilt. It was opened until the area was taken over by the Puritans in 1642. It was demolished in 1644.
The current Globe Theater (now know as the Shakespearean Globe) was opened in 1997. An American actor, director and producer Sam Wanamaker founded the Trust in 1970 that eventually raised the money to rebuild a replica Globe Theater. [1]
