Best Answer

The Globe Theatre, where many of his plays were performed, is not so named for its circular seating around the stage, since all the previous oudooor theatres (the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose and the Swan) were the same design, which was not in any event globe-shaped. The name is more symbolic. If "all the world's a stage", then this stage was all the world, the globe being another name for the world.
