History  The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre.  The Globe was owned by actors who were also shareholders in Lord Chamberlain’s Men.  On 28 December 1598 The Theatre dismantled beam by beam and transported it to Street's waterfront warehouse near Bridewell.  On 29 June 1613 the Globe Theatre went up in flames.  It was rebuilt in the following year.  Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in  A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997

Layout  The Globe's actual dimensions are unknown.  The evidence suggests that it was a three-storey, open-air amphitheatre approximately 100 feet (30 m) in diameter that could house up to 3,000 spectators.  The Globe is shown as round on Wencesles Hollar’s sketch of the building, hovever, in the Globe's foundation suggested that it was a polygon of 20 sides.

Fire  On 29 June 1613 the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry the Eighth.  A theatrical cannon, set off during the performance, misfired, igniting the wooden beams and thatching  According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches were put out with a bottle of ale.  It was rebuilt in the following year.

Moving Globe  The Burbages originally had a 21-year lease of the site on which The Theatre was built but owned the building outright.  However, the landlord, Giles Allen, claimed that the building had become his with the expiry of the lease.  On 28 December 1598, while Allen was celebrating Christmas at his country home, carpenter Peter Street, supported by the players and their friends.  Dismantled The Theatre beam by beam and transported it to Street's waterfront warehouse near Bridewell.

Facts About the Globe  The Globe Theater had a 1500 plus audience capacity. Up to 3000 people would flock to the theatre and its grounds.  There was no heating in the Globe theatre. Plays were performed in the summer months and transferred to the indoor playhouses during the winter.  The Globe was built in a similar style to the Coliseum, but on a smaller scale - other Elizabethan Theatres followed this style of architecture - they were called amphitheatres.  Elizabethan theatres were also used for bear baiting, gambling and for immoral purposes.  Elizabethan theatres attracted huge crowds - up to 3000 people.

 Color coding was used to advertise the type of play to be performed - a black flag meant a tragedy, white a comedy and red a history.  A trumpet was sounded to announce to people that the play was about to begin at the Globe Theatre in order for people to take their final places.  During the height of the summer the groundlings were also referred to as ' stinkards ' for obvious reasons.  All theaters located in the City were forced to move to the South side of the River Thames.

 There were no actresses. Female characters had to be played by young boys. The acting profession was not a credible one and it was unthinkable that any woman would appear in a play.  Many of the boy actors died of poisoning due to the vast quantities of lead in their make-up.  The Globe would have particularly attracted young people and the were many complaints of apprentices avoiding work in order to go to the theater.
