During Shakespeare's lifetime, his plays were performed at at least six public theatres in London: The Rose in 1592-93, The Theatre in 1594-6, The Curtain in 1596-1599, The first Globe in 1599-1613, the second Globe in 1613-1616, and the Blackfriars in 1608-1616, as well as being performed on makeshift stages in country venues, in people's houses, in public halls, at court, and even on board ship. After Shakespeare's death in 1616 his plays continued to be played at the second Globe and the Blackfriars (as well as the makeshift venues) to 1642, when all theatre was banned. After the Restoration, Shakespeare's plays were performed at the Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres, and later, at just about all of the theatres in the world.

Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres, the Globe (in 1599) and the Blackfriars (in 1608). The Globe was built about ten years after he started in the theatre business, so he obviously played in a number of others.

Of course, Shakespeare is long-gone as are any of the theatres he acted in or had a financial interest in. Over the years a number of London theatres have had a special association with the plays of Shakespeare, including the Drury Lane Theatre, the Covent Garden Theatre, the Old Vic Theatre, the Royal National Theatre, and most recently William Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, which is a reproduction of the Globe Theatre which burned down in 1613.

The actual name of the theatre is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and it was built in 1599. Shakespeare himself, of course, had nothing to do with it, except possibly as some kind of inspiration, and his plays were performed in it.
