No. The theatre was pulled down in 1644 and the land built on. The modern reconstruction (opened 1997) was built 200 metres from the original site.

What were hardships of William Shakespeare?

Shakespeare faced many challenges during his road to excellency. Some of these hardships include the times in modern Europe, such as lack of funds, resources and the Bubonic plague, also known as the Black Plague causes rapid deaths, taking the lives of many close to Shakespeare. Additionally, Shakespeare personally had to deal with the people that did not favor his works, and criticized his every move. A large majority of these people called his works "rubbish" and "a complete waste of time." Also, during these times, potential audiences would have to leave their work in the middle of the day to see a play, and the theater wasn't very clean so thus it could easily spread disease. Therefore, Shakespeare faced a lack of audiences not because of his writing ability, but because people feared leaving their jobs, and being hit by the plague.


Where did they moves the globe theatre?

They didn't move the Globe Theatre. What you are thinking of, probably, is when Richard and Cuthbert Burbage found themselves to be the owner of a theatre called The Theatre which they couldn't use because the landlord wouldn't allow anyone on the land. When their landlord was away, they got their carpenter, Peter Street, to take the Theatre down. They saved some of the lumber from the old theatre and used it to build a new theatre in a new part of town. This new theatre was called the Globe Theatre and it opened in 1599. It didn't move anywhere.

What theater did William Shakespeare and his acting company use?

The Theatre was the first successful building built especially to perform plays in. It was built by James Burbage in 1576 and housed the Admiral's Men for a time, and later for a short time The Lord Chamberlain's Men, including Shakespeare. In 1596, the landlord shut it down, prompting the company to move to other accomodations. In 1599 it was torn down and the materials from it used to build The Globe theatre. The Theatre not only gave the English language our word for what used to be called a playhouse, but also the iconic design of the Elizabethan outdoor playhouse, used in such other playhouses as the Curtain, The Rose, The Globe, The Swan and The Hope.

Was the globe theatre owned by William Shakespeare?

Only partly. The way it happened was this: the brothers Cuthbert and Richard Burbage had inherited The Theatre Playhouse, the oldest playhouse in the London area, from their father James. The Theatre could not be used because the landlord had locked the Burbages out of the building even though it was their building, just on the landlord's land. So they decided they would take down the Theatre in the winter when the landlord was away and move some of the second-hand materials to a spot south of the river and build a new playhouse. However, they did not have enough ready cash to do this, so they borrowed from their friends, including their friend William Shakespeare. In exchange, Shakespeare got one-eighth of the profit of the new theatre, which was, of course, the Globe.


What was the legal status of Shakespeare's theater?

Your question is not clear. If you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre" the theatrical profession in Shakespeare's day, it was legal provided that the theatrical company was under the patronage of a member of the nobility or royalty. Without such a patron, a company of actors were "masterless men" and might be arrested as vagabonds and vagrants. If you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre" a theatre Shakespeare played in, there were a lot of them, with different legal arrangements. The Theatre was owned by James Burbage, but the land under it wasn't. When the landlord decided he didn't like plays he locked people out of the theatre. The Rose was owned by Philip Henslowe, and he also owned the land it was on. Henslowe appears to have also owned Newington Butts Theatre. Burbage may have owned The Curtain playhouse. Shakespeare acted in all these playhouses. When James Burbage died his sons Richard and Cuthbert inherited the Theatre but couldn't do anything with it because of the lockout. When the landlord was away, they hired a carpenter, Peter Street, to take down The Theatre and move the timbers to a new location south of the River Thames. In order to finance the building of a new theatre they took on four investors, each of whom was to own a one-eighth share in the new playhouse, to be called the Globe, which was opened in 1599. The Globe was therefore run by a partnership, in which there were major partners (the Burbages) and minor partners (one of whom was Shakespeare). The landlord of the property where the Theatre had been built was unsurprisingly furious and sued the Burbages, but the court held that the theatre building belonged to the Burbages and not to their landlord, and that they were within their rights to take it away. Legally speaking, the court held that the theatre was a chattel, not a fixture.

Where did shakespeare get the timber from to build his theater?

Let's get it clear, Shakespeare was not the builder or the main push behind the building of the Globe Theatre. He only invested money in it. The timbers came from The Theatre, a playhouse north of London owned by the Burbage family. There was a dispute with the landlord so the Burbages sent their carpenter to tear it down and move the timbers south of the river. The landlord was livid, and sued the builder and the Burbages but lost.
