Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on river Thames at New Globe Walk, Bankside, Southwark, London, England, United Kingdom.
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on river Thames at Bankside, Southwark, London, England, UK. The Globe Theatre was a theater 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, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theater was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 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 theater. The reconstruction is brainchild of American actor Sam Wanamaker and has London's first thatched roof since Great Fire of 1666.
