Which theater is considered Shakespeare's?

Shakespeare actually owned a share in two theatres: the Globe and the Blackfriars. Nowadays, Shakespeare is the most famous of the many people who owned or worked in those theatres, so people get the idea that he owned them all by himself or that the people who attended them would have thought of them as Shakespeare's. In fact, Shakespeare's contemporaries would have associated both theatres with Richard Burbage, who was the most important actor in the company, much better known to the public than Shakespeare was, and owned a much larger share of the theatres, being the driving force and main financial push behind them.


When were plays performed in shakespeares time?

Shakespeare's plays were performed during daytime. There was no electricity, and no means of artificial light. They were also performed at night at court, in private homes, halls and indoor theatres like the Blackfriars (which Shakespeare owned a share in). They could do this because they did have a means of artificial light: candles.


Whats the theatre in london where shakespeares plays were performed?

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)
