It was forty-five (45) feet wide, twenty-seven (27) feet deep, and five (5) feet high; coming halfway out into the open yard.
The Globe Theatre, where many of his plays were performed, is not so named for its circular seating around the stage, since all the previous oudooor theatres (the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose and the Swan) were the same design, which was not in any event globe-shaped. The name is more symbolic. If "all the world's a stage", then this stage was all the world, the globe being another name for the world.

The Puritans closed down the Globe because they believed that theatres were anti-religious and a place of sin. Many other theatres were closed down as well.
Two theatres: The Globe and the Blackfriars.He bought a share in two theatres--in the Globe in 1599 and the Blackfriars in 1608. Contrary to what many people think, Shakespeare did not have a large share in these theatres--about 12 per cent. But it was enough to make him rich.Shakespeare owned a share in two theatres, The Globe, built in 1599, and the Blackfriars, which they purchased in 1608. He was one of the smaller shareholders, having a 12.5% share.
Shakespeare had an interest in at least two theatres. His company, the king's men, owned the Globe and Blackfriars theatres. Some people think they may have had an interest in the Curtain theatre since that was the one they moved to when the Theatre was closed.
Definitely one.

The word "theatre" includes cinemas where you see images projected onto a screen and also places where you see real live actors perform on stage. There might be a theatre called the Globe Theatre which is a cinema because it's a common name for theatres. But the most famous Globe Theatre (1599-1613) was destroyed many centuries before the invention of cinemas, and was exclusively built for stage plays.
Explosives and Fireworks, Many died in the making of these theatres.
It was sometimes called "Hell" since people could come up on stage from the understage through a trap door. That's where the witches in Macbeth made their exit and where Mephistopheles in Marlowe's Dr. Faustus entered from. Although of course Dr. Faustus was never played at the Globe Theatre of Shakespeare's day. It was played at The Rose and also at The Fortune, both of which had "Hells" of their own. The Globe Theatre was only one of many Elizabethan theatres which were all built on similar lines: the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose, the Swan, the Fortune, and the Hope were all similar theatres at about the same time.
Periodic outbreaks of plague caused the closure of theatres for health reasons.
