The theatre most often associated with William Shakespeare is the The Globe Theatre, which opened in 1599 in Southwark, London. At that time Shakespeare had already established himself as an actor and playwright. Shakespeare previously acted in a number of theatres in Shoreditch and Southwark such as the Curtain, the Rose, Newington Butts, and The Theatre prior to the Globe being constructed. These theatres were roughly circular in shape with an open roof, which led to the Curtain being called the "Wooden O" in Shakespeare's play Henry V. The Theatre was the first successful purpose-built playhouse in London, and the Globe was the first such playhouse to be built by an acting company.
The timber frame of the Globe came from the older theatre The Theatre in Shoreditch, which was demolished following a dispute with the landlord.
The original Globe burned down in 1613, following an accident with on-stage pyrotechnics, and was rebuilt in 1614. It was finally closed down in 1642, and demolished in 1644 to make way for housing.
Later in Shakespeare's career, he and his acting company, the Kings Men, performed at The Blackfriars Theatre (an indoor theatre) in the winter and at The Globe in summer. Shakespeare had a share in both theatres but he was not in charge of managing either of them.
A replica of The Globe has been built in London near the original site using traditional techniques. The modern Globe was finished in 1997. This is the only theatre which you can actually call "Shakespeare's Globe".
