The Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre was a famous playhouse in London, built in 1599, where many of William Shakespeare's plays were performed. It was a circular, open-air structure, allowing audiences to enjoy performances in natural light. The theatre could hold about 3,000 spectators, with varying ticket prices based on seating proximity to the stage. The Globe was crucial in popularizing theatre during the Elizabethan era. It was destroyed by a fire in 1613 but was rebuilt the following year. Today, a modern replica stands near the original site, serving as a cultural landmark and performing arts venue.
