Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

When people hear the word ,"Shakespeare", they think Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. Well I'm here to talk about what great and marvelous places these plays were perform in! Yes Theater's, one great theatre that was constructed was the Globe Theatre in 1599. They called it the most elaborate and attractive theatre at the time. The Globe Theatre was co-owned for James Burbage and a group of five actors, one of them being , William Shakespeare. The Globe Theatre held most of the wealth created by Shakespeare. When Shakespeare was even doing the play Henry VIII they actually misfired a cannon ball which lit the roof on fire. They went into construction and the theatre was reopened in less than a year with an added tiled roof. The Globe stood until 1644 and then was demolished. Other's have tried to make a replica of the globe and some have succeeded like for instance there is a replica in Tokyo and London. Even though the real Globe doesn't stand today we know that, that is where Shakespeare completed a lot of his playes.
