The Globe Theater Architecture featured a thatched roof. The material used to make a thatched roof was either straw or reeds. Bundles of straw or reed were piled on to the frame of the roof. The bundles had a circumference of between 24 to 27 inches and could range from 3 to 7 feet long. The thatched roof was a real fire hazard and in 1613 the original Globe Theatre was burnt to the ground. A new Globe Theater was built quickly, with one important addition. The new Globe Theatre boasted a tiled roof.

How does the design of the Globe Theatre compare with the design of other theaters in the London area?

We don't know much about the internal design of the Globe Theatre: the internal arrangement of the modern Globe in London is copied from an illustration of the Swan theatre (roughly contemporary with the Globe). Since we know very little about the internal design of any Sixteenth Century London theatre (except the Swan) - your question is really unanswerable.

In what outdoor theater did Shakespeare's present most of his plays?

Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres, The Globe Theatre and The Blackfriars. He called the Globe Theatre the Wooden "O" in his play Henry V because it was built almost circular with an open courtyard in the middle. The Blackfriars was an indoor theatre, designed very much like theatres today with a thrust stage and seating both on the floor and in galleries.The Globe Theater.

When was the stratford theater built?

The first Globe Theatre was built with materials and timber taken from the first 'Theatre' in 1599 when William Shakespeare and the Chamberlain's men were forced to leave because the Puritan owner, Giles Allen, refused to re-new the lease. It only took six months to build. Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who had owned the Theatre were the majority owners of the Globe. The first Globe burned down in 1613 but a second Globe was rebuilt on the same spot and was ready for use in 1614. It was torn down in 1644 to make way for housing. Shakespeare's Globe, a modern replica of the first Globe, was built in 1997.
