Detailed explanation-1: -The theatre that is now Gielgud Theatre was originally called ‘Globe Theatre’ from 1909 before it was renamed in honour of John Gielgud in 1994.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first Globe was built by the company Shakespeare was in – the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Richard Burbage was the company’s leading actor. They had played at the Theatre, built by the Burbage family on land leased from a Mr Allen.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The Puritan owner, Giles Allen. disapproved of the Theatre and the Lord Chamberlain’s Company acting troupe-which included William Shakespeare. Burbage opened negotiations to re-new the lease of the ‘Theatre’ but these all failed which is the reason why the Globe Theatre was built.
