Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -By May 1599, the new theatre was ready to be opened. Burbage named it the Globe after the figure of Hercules carrying the globe on his back-for in like manner the actors carried the Globe’s framework on their backs across the Thames.
Detailed explanation-4: -A world-renowned theatre, education centre, and cultural landmark. Located on the bank of the River Thames in London, UK, and also always open online.
Detailed explanation-5: -He was a sharer (part-owner) of a theatre company called The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. And from 1599, he was part-owner of the Globe Theatre. So, for about twenty years, he made money from acting, writing and running a theatre company.
