The Globe, which opened in 1599, became the playhouse where audiences first saw some of Shakespeare’s best-known plays. In 1613, it burned to the ground when the roof caught fire during a performance of Shakespeare’s Henry VIII. A new, second Globe was quickly built on the same site, opening in 1614.
The Globe Theatre officially opened in 1997, although workshops and performances had taken place on the stage since 1995. It also isn’t our only performance venue. Shakespeare’s Globe is home to the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and we perform plays and readings in other spaces on site. We also tour around the world!
