Answer 1

i cant find the answer any where

Answer 2

well i think about 132............

… quite a feat since he only wrote 36 …

The Shakespeare's Globe Theatre that we all know and love was actually built in 1997. All of Shakespeare's plays have been played there since it was built. The original Globe was destroyed in a fire in 1613 during a performance of Henry the Eighth, and the second Globe was closed in 1642. We can say for certain that some plays were played there because some people marked in their diaries that they went to see Julius Caesar, or Macbeth, or Cymbeline at the Globe. But we cannot be certain that, for example, King John or The Two Gentlemen of Verona were ever played at the first or second Globe.

Answer 3

It is difficult to say, as we do not have a comprehensive list of what plays were performed there. Although many of Shakespeare's plays were written before the Globe was built, it is possible that they might have been revived and performed later.

Some plays we know for certain were performed at the Globe are Henry VIII (June 29, 1613, when the theatre burned down), Macbeth (April 20, 1610, noted in Simon Forman's diary), Julius Caesar (Sept 21, 1599, noted in Thomas Platter's diary), The Winter's Tale (May 15, 1611, in Forman's diary), Richard II (February 7, 1601, at the request of the Earl of Essex), and Pericles (June 10, 1631, but known to have been performed at the Globe before 1609 from the Quarto titlepage and also known to have been performed publicly between 1606 and 1608, as recorded in Zorzi Giustinian's memoirs). The Taming of the Shrew is said from its Quarto titlepage to have been played at the Globe but no indication is given of a date. Cymbeline is mentioned in Forman's diary; although he does not say which theatre he saw it at, it is likely to be the Globe.

Some plays are unlikely to have been staged at the Globe: The Tempest, for example, which is said to have been staged at the Blackfriars and whose staging is consistent with that theatre. If there were a later revival of Love's Labour's Lost, it would sell better at the more upscale Blackfriars than the popular Globe because of its intellectual wordplay.

Answer 4

At the new Globe, all of them. But you are probably asking about the one that was built in 1599.

There are no consistent records of what plays were performed at the Globe. Sometimes we have someone's diary or a letter which says something along the lines of "I went to the Globe theatre and saw them play Julius Caesar" A guy called Thomas Platter said this after seeing Julius Caesar there on September 21, 1599. Because of Simon Forman's records we know that Macbeth was performed at the Globe on April 20, 1610 and The Winter's Tale on April 30, 1611.

It's a pretty safe guess that every play Shakespeare wrote after 1599 was produced at the Globe. However, it is not so certain that the earlier plays were revived for performance there. Performance records for some of the early plays is extremely sparse.

Answer 5

The Globe Theatre was for the exclusive use of the Lord Chamberlain's Men which became the King's Men about four years after the Globe was built and ten years before it was burned down and rebuilt. The records of how many attended the performances of plays during this period (some by Shakespeare, some not) are not available so we don't know exactly how many attended. Scholars believe that the maximum capacity of the Globe was 3000 but it is unlikely they ever reached that.

Henslowe's records do give an idea of attendance at the Rose and other theatres he owned in the early 1590s. Not an exact idea, because he recorded the receipts which included people paying admission of more than one penny. The Rose was a smaller theatre, but even so the take was much less than capacity. For example, a performance of Marlowe's Dr. Faustus on December 17, 1596 brought in a mere nine shillings. That's only 108 people if they all were groundlings, and so probably the attendance was less. Some performances brought in more money, suggesting that up to 816 people were there.

Answer 6

I think that every one of Shakespeare's plays were performed in the Globe. But I might be mistaken.

Answer 7

there were many plays preformed at the globe theatre from may diffrenet people.
