The original Globe Playhouse, which was built in 1599 by Peter Street and largely financed by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, burned to the ground on June 29, 1613 during a performance of Shakespeare's play All is True, otherwise known as Henry VIII, when the wadding from a cannon fired off as a sound effect landed on the thatched roof of the theatre.
