Detailed explanation-1: -The Globe Theatre normally refers to one of three theaters in London associated with William Shakespeare. These are: The original Globe Theatre, built in 1599 by the playing company to which Shakespeare belonged, was destroyed by fire on June 29, 1613.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Globe Theatre you see today in London is the third Globe. The first opened in 1599 and was built by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the company that William Shakespeare wrote for and part-owned. We think that the first play Shakespeare wrote for the original Globe was Julius Caesar in spring 1599.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre is the most recognizable early modern playhouse and, as a result, the subject of numerous reconstructions and reimaginings. Currently there are more than fifteen reconstructions, with more being built.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was built in 1599 at Southwark, close to the south bank of the Thames, by Shakespeare’s playing company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. It was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and stayed open until the London theatre closures of 1642.
Detailed explanation-5: -Shakespeare’s company built the Globe only because it could not use the special roofed facility, Blackfriars Theatre, that James Burbage (the father of their leading actor, Richard Burbage) had built in 1596 for it inside the city. The elder Burbage had a long history as a theatrical entrepreneur.
