The owner of the old Globe Theater, James Burbage, moved his theatre to avoid having to pay the extra rent. All of the men in the theatre had to take it apart, piece by piece in the middle of a cold night in December and carried it across River Thames. The authorities in London made them leave the land in the city limits because their lease was up. Also they banned the public presentation of plays. They still owned the theater itself so they just moved the parts across the frozen river to the bankside. The Move
