Best Answer

A cannon was used as an effect for the play King Henry VIII. A spark from the cannon landed on the thatched roof of the Globe theatre. Within an hour, the whole globe was ruined. This was in 1613. A new Globe Theatre was built within a year.

Where is the Globe Theatre Shakespeare?

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642. But neither of those theatres is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre was built in 1997 on a site very close to the site of the original Globe, which it imitates in many respects.
