There were a few known theatres around, including the Rose Theatre just down the street from the Globe, and the Hope and Swan, also in Southwark. Quite often companies performed in inns and local spaces. Most companies toured their shows, very few got royal patronage, so somewhere like the Globe was big and had very few major compeititors. The biggest competitors were the Lord Admiral's Men, with their star actor Ned Alleyn, who in 1600 built the Fortune Theatre in Shoreditch. Unfortunately over time the Fortune, which was bigger and fancier than the Globe, and the other northern theatres such as the Red Bull got a bad reputation. They were seen as rowdy and uncivilised, where the unwashed masses would go to drink, have fun, watch a raunchy show, and maybe get into a fistfight afterwards. This reputation did not affect the Southwark theatres as much.
