During the beginning of his days in London, Shakespeare’s plays were performed in several theaters in London. In 1599, the Globe Theater was built and became the main performing house for Shakespeare’s plays. This new theater was the most beautiful and magnificent theater in all of London.

Shakespeare, along with some of his fellow actors, become part owner in the Globe. Almost 3000 people could watch these plays in this theater. The Puritans closed the theater in 1634, but it has recently been rebuilt and reopened to the public.
