For many years it was thought that the Globe and other outdoor Elizabethan playhouses were octagonal, but archaeological research on the foundations of the Globe and Rose playhouses proves that they in fact were twenty-sided polygons.

How was William Shakespeare theatre destroyed?

If there was a theatre called "William Shakespeare Theatre", you will have to be a little more specific. Was there such a theatre built in Akron, Ohio in the 1930s? Or in Calcutta in the 1890s? If the theatre you are talking about is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre", it is still standing, having been built in 1997. If the theatre you are talking about is the Blackfriars Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted and held a small share, it was demolished in 1655. If the theatre you are talking about is the First Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare also acted and held a small share, it burned down on June 29, 1613. If the theatre you are talking about is the Second Globe Theatre, which was built to replace the first one in 1614, and which might have had nothing to do with Shakespeare, it was torn down in 1644.


When did Shakespeare's theatre start?

Or do you mean the theatre company which he joined, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which was founded in 1594? Or do you mean the tradition of Elizabethan theatre of which Shakespeare was a part, which started in about 1560? It could be any one.

A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642. But neither of those theatres is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
