The Globe Theater

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, The Lord Chamberlain's Men, on land owned by Thomas Brend and inherited by his son, Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew Brend. The original Globe was destroyed by fire on 29 June, 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site in June 1614 and closed by an Ordinance issued on September 6, 1642. A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997 approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre. From 1909, the current Gielgud Theatre in the West End was called "Globe Theatre", until it was renamed (in honor of John Gielgud) in 1994. Below is a 360 Panorama of the stage area
