The Globe Theatre was a famous playhouse in London, built in 1599 by the playing company known as the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which included the renowned playwright William Shakespeare. It was an open-air theatre that could hold up to 3,000 spectators, showcasing many of Shakespeare's most celebrated works. The theatre was notable for its unique circular design and thatched roof, allowing for a vibrant atmosphere. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by fire in 1613 but was rebuilt the following year. Today, a modern reconstruction, known as Shakespeare's Globe, stands near the original site, celebrating the legacy of Elizabethan drama.
