The Globe. Shakespeare performed in this theatre and his plays were performed there during its existence between 1599 and 1613.

Contrary to popular misconceptions:

--Many of Shakespeare's plays did not see their first performance at the Globe, including Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, Richard III, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice and Much Ado about Nothing, all written before the Globe was built.

--Shakespeare did not own the Globe Theatre, although he owned a minor share in it. The majority was owned by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage.

--Shakespeare was not in charge of building the Globe Theatre. That was a man called Peter Street.

--Shakespeare did not produce any of his plays in the Globe Theatre. In fact, Shakespeare was not in charge of which plays were performed by his theatrical company.
