How many globe theaters are there?

Answer 1

There are many theatres which call themselves the Globe after Shakespeare's famous theatre in London, although some of them are movie theatres. There is of course the modern Globe in London, but there is also one in Blackpool, England, two in New Zealand, one in Australia, one in Germany, one in Japan, one in Barbados, three in Canada, one in South Africa, one in Italy, one in Wales, and one in each of San Diego, Los Angeles, Virginia, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Texas. And this is probably not all.

There are three important Globe playhouses: the original built in 1599 which burned down in 1613; it was rebuilt, bigger and better, and reopened in 1614; the third is the current reproduction of the rebuilt version which now stands within a hundred yards of the original.
