There is no such thing as a "Shakespeare Theatre". Shakespeare performed in theatres, and even invested some money in a couple, but he was not associated with the construction or design or ownership of theatres in his day, or even nowadays.

In Shakespeare's day, the theatres in and around London were built either north of the city limits (The Theatre, The Curtain, The Fortune) or south of the river in Southwark (The Rose, The Globe, The Swan) because the city fathers would not permit the construction of a theatre in the city limits. Indoor playhouses, at first for the companies of child actors and later for adult companies were built inside the city over time. Certain Inns (such as the Bel Savage and the Cross Keys) were licenced for theatrical productions in the city in the early part of Shakespeare's career.
