What is the name of the theater that Shakespeare and his company built?

Answer 1

The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 but it was not built by "Shakespeare and his men". It was built by a man called Peter Street who was hired by a group led by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage. Shakespeare had money in it, but was not a main player in any way.l

Answer 2

The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 but Shakespeare did not build it. He was one of a number of shareholders and a very minor shareholder at that. The actual construction was done by a carpenter called Peter Street under the direction of Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who between them owned half of the Theatre.

Answer 3

The Globe Theater was built in 1599. It was not in any sense of the word built for William Shakespeare. No theatre was built for him at any time. The theatre was built for the company The Lord Chamberlain's Men to act in. The leader of the company was Richard Burbage, who happened also to be the guy in charge of building the Globe Theatre.

Answer 4

The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 but Shakespeare did not build it. He contributed some money, but his friends the Burbage brothers contributed half. And the actual work was done by a professional builder who the Burbages hired.

Answer 5

You are probably thinking of the Globe Theatre which was designed and built by a builder called Peter Street and chiefly financed by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, the lead actor and business manager of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the playing company to which Shakespeare belonged. Shakespeare was one of about four minor shareholders who contributed money towards building this theatre, but it is grossly inaccurate to describe him as having a leading role in its construction.

Answer 6

Shakespeare helped found the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594 and co-owned the Globe Playhouse, constructed in 1599 or 1600.

Answer 7

Shakespeare's "The Globe" was built in 1599
