The Globe Theatre

The Globe theatre was built in London in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company who were called the lord Chamberlain's men. The Globe theatre had 3,000 seats and there were people standing at the bottom ofd the seats were the poor people who couldn't afford the seats but the wealthier people sat down in either boxes or seats in balcony's. But the Globe theatre was burnt by fire on 29th June in 1613, however a new Globe theatre was rebuilt in the same place in June 1614 but closed in 1642. The play's started exactly at 2 o'clock because it would get dark fast and electricity wasn't discovered yet and when the play started a cannon would fire a signal to tell people that the play has started, there also bear fighting and cock fighting. There is a modern version of the theatre in London.
