What was another name for the globe theater?
Shakespeare described his theatre as "the wooden "O". (letter o) in the Chorus to Henry V. But he was probably talking about the Curtain theatre when he wrote those lines. It didn't matter anyway because most of the outdoor theatres were shaped like doughnuts including the Globe, Curtain, Theatre, Rose, Hope, and Swan. So Shakespeare's phrase isn't necessarily about the Globe at all and certainly never became a nickname for the Globe.
