The History Globe theatre Shakespeare

• The original theater was built in 1599 for the
  theater company of William Shakespeare. Many of
  his masterpieces were created to be represented
  at the Globe, becoming one of the most successful
  theaters in London.In 1613 one of the
  performances was plunged into chaos when the
  thatched roof caught fire and the fire ended up
  destroying the theater.On the same ground a
  second theater was built that served as home of
  Shakespeare's company until 1642, when all the
  theaters in the city were shut down by the
  English Puritan Administration. To be out of use,
  in 1644 the theater was demolished.In 1949
  actor, director and producer Sam Wanamaker made
  ??a trip to London and, noting with
  disappointment how there was only a plaque as a
  tribute to Shakespeare in 1970 began to raise
  funds for the reconstruction of the theater.
  After his death in 1997, the faithful
  reproduction of the theater building was
  completed.
