Detailed explanation-1: -Many of Shakespeare’s plays were first performed at the Globe, although his plays were performed at other theatres and many playwrights wrote for the Globe. Who built the first Globe? The first Globe was built by the company Shakespeare was in – the Lord Chamberlain’s Men.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1576 he had built the first successful amphitheatre, known as The Theatre, in a London suburb. Twenty years later, when the lease on The Theatre’s land was about to expire, he built the theatre in Blackfriars as its replacement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre was originally an Elizabethan theatre that was built in 1599 in London, and it was named as such due to the fact that Shakespeare wrote multiple plays which were staged there.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Globe, which opened in 1599, became the playhouse where audiences first saw some of Shakespeare’s best-known plays. In 1613, it burned to the ground when the roof caught fire during a performance of Shakespeare’s Henry VIII. A new, second Globe was quickly built on the same site, opening in 1614.
