Best Answer

1. Shakespeare did not built the Globe Theatre. A man called Peter Street built it. Shakespeare was not a carpenter.

2. Shakespeare did not put up all of the money to build the Globe. He did not even put up most of the money to build it. He put up a lot less than other people, about one-eighth all told.

3. Shakespeare stole nothing in connection with the building of the Globe.

4. Neither did Richard and Cuthbert Burbage (the guys who actually paid for the theatre to be built). They took the timbers from their old theatre, The Theatre, and moved them to a new site. Their landlord sued them but he lost: the court held that The Theatre belonged to the Burbages and it wasn't stealing to take it off of the landlord's land.
