Best Answer

Shakespeare did not "have" any theatres. He was not the sole owner of any theatres. He did own a share in a couple, but just because you own a share in Apple Computers does not mean you own the company. Of course he acted in a great many theatres, most of which he did not have any interest in at all.

The globe theatre?

One of the theatre's of Shakespeare's time, and nowadays the name of a good many theatres that house Shakespeare Festivals or plays.


Which theater is considered Shakespeare's?

Shakespeare actually owned a share in two theatres: the Globe and the Blackfriars. Nowadays, Shakespeare is the most famous of the many people who owned or worked in those theatres, so people get the idea that he owned them all by himself or that the people who attended them would have thought of them as Shakespeare's. In fact, Shakespeare's contemporaries would have associated both theatres with Richard Burbage, who was the most important actor in the company, much better known to the public than Shakespeare was, and owned a much larger share of the theatres, being the driving force and main financial push behind them.


What did William shakespeare change the theatre name later to and why?

Who closed William Shakespeare's theaters?

Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres: The Globe and The Blackfriars. They were closed by the government during times of plague. All of the theatres were closed down in 1642 by the Puritan government because they thought plays had a bad effect on people. But of course by that time Shakespeare had been dead for 26 years and he had no interest in any theatres.

There is no one theatre which can be identified as "Shakespeare's theatre". Shakespeare performed in a number of different theatres, although most particularly in the two he owned a share in. In any case, the main reasons for theatre closures applied to all the theatres whether they had something to do with Shakespeare or not. There were two of these: all London theatres were periodically closed for a relatively short time for health reasons, and all London theatres were permanently closed in 1642 by law.

Who built the Elizabeth theater before Shakespeare?

1. There is not and never has been a theatre called the Elizabeth Theatre. (There are Queen Elizabeth Theatres in Toronto and Vancouver, but no Elizabeth Theatre), so obviously nobody built a theatre by that name. 2. William Shakespeare did not build theatres. He was not a builder. He was not a contractor. Nor did he hire them. Shakespeare invested in theatres, he did not build them.
