Globe Theatre
The Globe Theater is said to be the most important structure in Shakespeare's dramatic career. The Chamberlain Company built the Theater in 1699. The Theater was located on the Southern shore of the Thames River in London. Shakespeare, being a member of the Chamberlain Company, became a shareholder in the Theater. Along with Shakespeare, James Burbage, his two sons, and five members of the troupe owned the Globe (Zenger). This group of men was called Lord Chamberlains Men after a patron of the acting company. In May of 1603, King James I came to see their plays and the troupe then changed their name to The King's Men (Unknown). These people and groups became a living part of the Globe Theater. The Globe was the most important structure to Shakespeare's drama because most of his plays were to be performed on the stage of the Globe. Those plays written by Shakespeare include: Hamlet, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, King Lear, Othello, Julius Caesar (Unknown). These plays that had a huge effect on our literature, had an even larger effect on the people of London. Plays were important to the residents of London because they were an efficient way of getting a message to many people and entertain them at the same time (Unknow
In a matter of a few years, this theater rose and then fell in one catastrophic event. The Theater only took two hours to burn completely down, except for the foundation. In this year the Puritans closed down all theaters and other place that would supply entertainment to the people (Unknown). The New Globe was then being constructed but it would not be a perfect replica, because some of the details were almost impossible to duplicate. Then in 1949, an interested Sam Wanamaker came to look for some remains of the Globe and he found nothing but a mere plaque on the wall of brewery (Unknown1). 8-acre lot across from the brewery on Bankside (Zenger). This was assumed to be the general location of the Globe. This tragic event was expected to lead to the demise of The Kings Men, but this consequently worked in the favor of them. The Globe Theater became the most popular theater amongst the people. In 1611 Shakespeare sold his shares to the troupe because he was ready to retire. Without the Globe, who knows where Shakespeare's plays would have been performed, if anywhere at all. Since the completion of the Globe, many exhibits have been held. An architect named Theo Crosby attended and later became the head architect.
