People died and stuff.
The original Globe Theatre was built in 1599 but burned down on July 29, 1613 during a performance of Henry VIII. A second Globe, with a more fireproof roof, was built immediately thereafter and was open for the 1614 season. Shakespeare had by that time retired and it is not clear that he had any connection with the second Globe theatre.
The rebuilding of the New Globe Theatre took approximately three years, with construction starting in 1997 and concluding in 2000. The theatre, located in London, was officially opened to the public on June 12, 1997, and its first performance took place on July 12, 1997. This reconstruction aimed to faithfully replicate the original Globe Theatre, which was built in 1599 and destroyed by fire in 1613.

For much of 1599, the Globe Theatre was under construction. The Theatre, which the Lord Chamberlain's Men had originally used as their home base, had become inaccessible due to problems with the Landlord. On Dec 28, 1598, with the Landlord out of London, Peter Street, the builder who the Burbages had hired, demolished the Theatre and took its timbers to a warehouse. In the spring they were ferried across the Thames to the location where the Globe was to be built. A lot of landfill and foundation work had to be done before any of the timbers could be raised, and the new theatre was larger than the Theatre and indeed the largest in London at the time. Scholars are unsure of just when it was complete and ready to perform in: some say July, others closer to September. While it was being built, the Chamberlain's Men kept on performing at the Curtain Theatre north of the river. Once the Globe opened, it must have been awesome, because it was brand new, and the best there was at that time (The Fortune theatre was larger and built the following year by the same builder, Peter Street.)
There are two shows currently playing at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. The first is called Dear Elizabeth, written by Sarah Ruhl and Les Waters and is playing until July 7, 2013. The second is George Gershwin Alone and showings have been extended until July 7, 2013.
