No, the Rose theatre and the Globe Theatre are two different theatres. The Rose theatre opened before the Globe theatre in 1587, and the Globe theatre opened afterwards in 1599. The Rose theatre closed in 1605, whereas the Globe Theatre was burnt down in 1613, rebuilt in 1614 and then closed in 1642. Both theatres are now rebuilt and open to the public.

Where have replicas been made of Shakespeare theater?

There actually is no theatre called "Shakespeare theater". William Shakespeare worked in a number of theatres over the course of his 25-year plus career. These include the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose, Newington Butts, the Globe and the Blackfriars. Of these The Globe is the most famous, and there exists a replica, built in 1996, in London England called "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre". This theatre has been built very close to the site of the original Globe and Rose theatres. To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, a replica of the second Globe theatre (built in 1614 after the first one burned down during one of Shakespeare's plays) has been built in Auckland New Zealand and will later be dismantled. There are seven Globe Theatre replicas in the USA, two in Germany, one in Italy and one in Japan. The replica of the Rose Theatre used in the film Shakespeare in Love has been preserved with the hope that it can be used as a regular theatre; there is also a Rose Theatre replica in Michigan. There is a replica of the Fortune Theatre (erected in 1600 by the theatre company in competition with Shakespeare's) at the University of Western Australia, and other replicas of this same theatre in Japan and Poland. There is a working replica of the Blackfriars Theatre, a theatre which Shakespeare owned a part of, in Staunton, Virginia, USA.


What was the theater called next to the Globe theater?

The Rose was not far from where the Globe was, but they were not really very contemporaneous. The Rose had been built in 1587. The Globe was built in 1599, practically next door to it. The Admiral's Men, who were using the Rose at this time, found that they could not complete with the Globe because the Rose was old, small, and smelly. They therefore built a new (and fabulously sumptuous) theatre in the North of London called The Fortune, and abandoned The Rose, which was used very infrequently thereafter. In 1600 the Globe was to the south and west of the church of St. Mary Overies (now Southwark Cathedral). The Rose was to the northwest of the Globe and there was a beargarden to the northwest of that, right along the river. The Swan, a well-built but badly-managed theatre, was a lot further to the west, being across the river from Blackfriars Gate and the mouth of the Fleet. In 1614 a new combination bear garden and theatre, the Hope, was built just to the south of where the old bear garden had been, very close to the Globe, which was being rebuilt after the fire.


Was the globe theatre the first theatre?

No it wasn't. The ancient Greeks and Romans built very effective outdoor theatres many of which are in use today, 1500 years and more before the Globe was built in 1599. But the Globe was not even the oldest theatre in Britain which was intended as a theatre not just an innyard. The Theatre in Shoreditch, built 1576, was the first. Newington Butts, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan and the Blackfriars all were built before The Globe.


Why is Shakespeare's theater called the Globe theater?

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.

Who were the admirals men at the globe theatre?

They weren't. The Admiral's Men were a theatrical company, the rival of The Lord Chamberlain's Men in the 1590s and of the Kings Men in the 1600s. They were led by the age's greatest actor, Ned Alleyn. Before 1599 the Admiral's Men were permanently located at the Rose Theatre in Southwark south of the River and the City of London, whereas the Chamberlain's Men were at the Curtain Theatre to the north and east of the City. However in 1599 the principal shareholders of the Lord Chamberlain's Men built a newer, bigger and more beautiful theatre called the Globe Theatre in Southwark not far from the Rose. Henslowe, the owner of the Rose and one of Alleyn's chief associates, could see that the Rose could not compete with the Globe, so they built a newer, bigger, and even more spectacular theatre called The Fortune to the northwest of the City. This became the new home of the Admiral's Men. The Rose became the home of the third most important acting company at the time, Worcester's Men. As you see, The Admiral's Men never played at the Globe, although it did affect their business strategy.


The area under the stage of Globe Theatre?

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.


Which theater did William Shakespeare performed in?

The Globe, Rose, Curtain, Theatre, Newington Butts and Blackfriars at least. Possibly others.
