Of the playhouses in which Shakespeare owned a share in, the Blackfriars was the most successful. Although it had about a quarter of the capacity of the Globe, the Blackfriars had much higher ticket prices and always sold out. It also could be used summer and winter and in bad weather. Because the sharers made a lot more money out of the Blackfriars, Shakespeare started writing his plays toward the end of his career with the Blackfriars, not the Globe, in mind.
