Globe Theatre history
The Globe Theatre, an iconic Elizabethan playhouse in London, is famous for its 360-degree auditorium, where both audience and performers are always visible to each other. The current Globe is the third version of the original, which was first opened in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, a company Shakespeare wrote for and partly owned.
In its first year, Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar and As You Like It, and began work on the legendary Hamlet. Over the next decade, he produced masterpieces like Othello, King Lear and Macbeth, all still performed at the Globe today.
