Best Answer

The Puritan government had passed a law in 1642 forbidding the performance of plays and closing the theatres. The Globe then stood empty for a couple of years, making its owners no money and falling into disrepair. Eventually the owners, seeing no end of the prohibition, decided to tear it down to build housing which would at least make them some money.

Where is the Globe Theatre Shakespeare?

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642. But neither of those theatres is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre was built in 1997 on a site very close to the site of the original Globe, which it imitates in many respects.


How did one get a good seat at the Globe theatre?

It depends on what your definition of a good seat is. In the days of the Globe Theatre, the floor seats closest to the stage were the cheapest seats. The further one sat in the Globe, the more expensive the seats as opposed to today where the close seats are more expensive. In order to get a far away "good" seat, one usually had to be a member of the aristocracy.
