The Lord Chamberlain's Men were formed in 1594. At that time they playhouse they used was The Theatre, which was owned by James Burbage, father of Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, two of the members of The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Because of a dispute with the the landlord who owned the land The Theatre was built on, The Theatre was closed and the company was obliged to use TheCurtain theatre nearby around 1566. James Burbage died, and the younger Burbages contrived a plan whereby they could get their father's investment out of the Theatre, since the landlord could not be dealt with. In 1599, when the landlord was away in the country, the Burbages arranged to have the Theatre taken down and its timbers moved to a location south of the river. Using these timbers and money raised from members of the company (including Shakespeare), they built a new playhouse called The Globe, which was their home until they changed patrons in 1603
