It was in fact the same shape as the theatres called The Theatre, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan and The Hope. The reason it was called the Globe is because the audience could see "all the world" on the stage there. Shakespeare frequently compared the world to a stage.The GlobeThe metaphor of the theater as a whole world in itself runs throughout Shakespeare. 'The Globe' was probably a reference to the fact that the actors create a world for the audience. The globe would hang a flag up when a play was on. The globe was very noisy even when a play was on, there were often riots and fights.It is a reference to the Shakespeare quote, "All the World's a Stage…"
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.
He owned a share in two theatres: The Globe and The Blackfriars. His share was usually one-eighth.
In a modern theatre the audience sits opposite to the stage. In the globe the audience sits (partly) around the stage, in the manner of the ancient Greek theatres.

For it's shape--it looks like a globe without a top? No, ALL the theatres then looked like that. It's probably got to do with the idea that the actors could show you anything or anywhere in the world, so the theatre was like a mini-cosmos. Or maybe they didn't put that much thought into it. Why was the Swan theatre called the Swan? The motto on the sign of the Globe was the quote from Shakespeare, "All the Word's a Stage."
it was on the outskirt of the london because they thought the theatres were a danger to society. it was also made in the shape of an "o" , and was made out of wood.
