The Globe Theater used flags as a way of communicating information about the plays of the day. If the flag was raised it indicated a performance was scheduled. If it wasn't raised, the people knew the performance had been canceled. Colored flags also indicated the type of play that would be performed.

Why was the Globe Theater called Globe Theater?

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.

How and when was Shakespeare's globe theatre ruined?

It wasn't. There have been three theatres in London called the Globe. The one called "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre" was built in 1997 and is still going strong. Some people might think that the productions put on there have ruined it, but if so that is their opinion. The other two Globe Theatres were built during Shakespeare's lifetime, but neither of them were associated mainly with Shakespeare. They might have been thought of as "Burbage's Globe Theatre". Anyway, the first was built in 1599 and burned down on June 29, 1613, during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII. The second Globe was planned before the embers of the first one were cool, and was built by 1614. It was built with a tile roof rather than a thatched one for greater fire safety. However no roof could protect it from the English Civil War. The Parliamentarians banned all theatres in 1642, so the Globe had to close down. After a couple of years of lack of profit and no sign of the Commonwealth going away anytime soon, they tore it down to build housing instead.
