The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre, The Theatre, which had been built by Richard Burbage's father, James Burbage, inShoreditch in 1576. The Burbages originally had a 21-year lease of the site on which The Theatre was built but owned the building outright. However, thelandlord, Giles Allen, claimed that the building had become his with the expiry of the lease. On 28 December 1598, while Allen was celebrating Christmas athis country home, carpenter Peter Street, supported by the players and their friends, dismantled The Theatre beam by beam and transported it to Street'swaterfront warehouse near Bridewell. The first performance for which a firm record remains was Jonson's Every Man out of His Humour—with its first scenewelcoming the "gracious and kind spectators"—at the end of the year.
On 29 June 1613 the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of HenryVIII. A theatrical cannon, set off during the performance, misfired, igniting the wooden beams and thatching. According to one of the few survivingdocuments of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches were put out with a bottle of ale. It was rebuilt in the following year.
A modernreconstruction of the theatre, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997, with a production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the originaldesign, based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre.
