The two playhouses in which Shakespeare owned shares as the Globe (public) and Blackfriars (private).
Yep
When his plays were preformed at the globe theatres, then again nobody has really done what he has done
He never said, actually. He worked in various theatres but he might have liked them all equally well.
The Blackfriars. None of the other theatres where his plays were performed were in London because the City of London was actually unfriendly to theatres and did not allow the big public theatres to be built there. All of the big public theatres were either north of London or south of the River Thames in a district called Southwark. (One of them was even further south, at Newington near Clapham)
Eclipse will be in theatres about 2 to 3 weeks ...........in some places.
In theatres. In his day they also had special performances in private homes. Since then a lot get acted on movie sets as well. And then and now, schools were popular places to put on plays.
The largest was the Fortune, built in 1600. Next was the Globe, then the Swan. The Hope was built late in Shakespeare's time and was built to the same plan as the Swan.
They were closed a couple of times in the 1590's because there was an outbreak of the bubonic plague in the City, and it was thought that disease would spread more if the theatres were open. The actors then went on tour of the country and Shakespeare made himself rich writing long poems like Venus and Adonis.

All theatres in London were closed during the years 1592-1593 because of a particularly nasty plague outbreak. During that time, actors had to play in venues outside of London, which were much less profitable. There was a smaller plague outbreak and theatre closure in London in 1596.
