After Shakespeare joined the Lord Chamberlain's men in 1594, their home was a theatre called The Theatre. However, the owners of the building (the acting family of the Burbages) and the owners of the land got into a dispute and in 1597, the Theatre was closed. They moved to a different playhouse nearby called The Curtain while the dispute dragged on. Finally the Burbages with some of their friends came onto the land and took The Theatre down and moved its timbers to a space south of the river in an area called Southwark. They built a new theatre called The Globe in 1599. In order to finance it, the Burbages took on a group of partners from among the players in the company, including Shakespeare. Later, in 1608, The Lord Chamberlain's men (who by that time were called The King's Men) began to play also in an indoor theatre called the Blackfriars which the Burbages had bought some time earlier. This became their winter home.
