Origin
Edit
The Globe Theater was a theater built by the Lord Chamberlain's men (the playing Company Shakespeare worked at) by the actors who were also share holders of the company. In 1613 the theater caught fire during a performance of Henry VIII when a special effects cannon misfired, the theater was rebuilt but in 1642 the Puritans closed all theaters including the globe it was then dismantled in 1644. A modern reconstruction named "Shakespeare's Globe" was built in 1997, 230 meters (750 ft.) from the original site.
