Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre was a historic theater in London built in 1599, famously associated with William Shakespeare. It was an open-air amphitheater where plays were performed for the public, featuring a central stage surrounded by seating and a yard where audiences could stand. The theatre's design allowed for lively, immersive performances, and it played a significant role in the development of English drama. After suffering damage and closure, the Globe was reconstructed in the late 20th century nearby, preserving its legacy as a symbol of Elizabethan theater and literary history.
