We don't know which Greek architect decided to improve on the natural structure of a hillside to carve benches into the sides of the hills for people to sit. This was the first theatre. Later Greeks and Romans built many such theatres (called amphitheatres), many of which still stand.

The first theatre in Elizabethan England was called the Red Lion and it was built in 1567. It was a commercial failure and was adapted to be farm buildings.

The Theatre, built in 1576, was the first successful Elizabethan theatre. It was torn down because it was built on rented land and the landlord refused to renew the lease.
