Who wrote the plays that were performed in the Globe Theatre?

William Shakespeare


Did Shakespeare only write plays for the globe theatre?

No. He wrote a number of plays before the Globe was built in 1599, including such well-known plays as Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Richard III. He also wrote plays to be performed at court (Love's Labour's Lost is one) and also to be played at the indoor Blackfriars Theatre, which the company acquired in 1608.


What is the name of the theater where all William Shakespeares plays were perforned?

There is probably no one theatre where all of Shakespeare's plays were performed. You may be thinking of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 and probably saw all of the plays Shakespeare wrote after that date. But Shakespeare had already been a playwright for seven or eight years before the Globe was built. If any of his plays written before 1599 were played at the Globe they would have to have been revivals. Some of his old plays may have been revived, but all of them? Unlikely.


Who wrote the plays at the globe theatre?

The plays at the Globe Theatre were primarily written by William Shakespeare. He was a prominent playwright and poet of the English Renaissance, and many of his works were performed at the Globe, which was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the acting company to which he belonged. In addition to Shakespeare, other playwrights like Ben Jonson and Christopher Marlowe also had their works performed there. However, Shakespeare's plays remain the most famous and frequently associated with the theatre.

Where did Romeo and Juliet first debut?

Not in The Globe Theatre, that's for certain. Romeo and Juliet was published two years before the Globe was built. Likely it was one of the plays Shakespeare wrote shortly after the Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed, and thus would have had its first performance in James Burbage's Theatre or in The Curtain Playhouse.

What type of shows did they perform in the globe theatre?

The Globe Theatre, unlike some of the other theatres, was used exclusively to put on plays. Other theatres, like the Hope and the Swan, sometimes had bearbaiting and other types of entertainment. However, contrary to popular supposition, they put on a broad variety of plays, and not just plays by Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote no more than two or three new plays a year (after all, his total output was 38 plays in a 23-year career), yet the theatre companies had to premiere a new play every week or so. That means that most of the plays they put on were not by Shakespeare.


How many times was Romeo and Juliet preformed at the Globe Theatre?

Possibly never. Romeo and Juliet was written about five years before the Globe Theatre was built. Our information about which plays were performed at the Globe is extremely sparse and consists mostly of people who wrote in their diaries "Today I saw a play at the Globe theatre called Cymbeline." Romeo and Juliet is one play for which there are no performance records at the Globe so we cannot be sure it was played there even once.


What are Shakespeare's two theatrical companies?

Shakespeare initially wrote plays and performed with the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later changed "The King's Men") In 1599 he purchased the Globe with a group of friends asn wrote (and presumably played) there. Alternately he also had a share in the Blackfriars indoor theatre.
