The Second Blackfiar's
The first indoor theatre is often considered to be the Blackfriars Theatre, built in London in 1576. It was originally a converted Dominican monastery and hosted performances by prominent companies, including Shakespeare's. Unlike the outdoor playhouses, the Blackfriars Theatre offered an intimate setting and allowed for indoor performances year-round, significantly influencing the evolution of English theatre.
The first public playhouse in London was called The Great Theatre. It was built by James Burbage, an actor and entrepreneur.
The first theatre in London (which was just called 'The Theatre') was built in Southwark, on the South Bank of the Thames.
