Built in 1599 to house Shakespeare's many plays, the Globe overlooked the Thames river outside of London. The new Globe Theatre was built in 1997. It is considered a faithful replica. Shakespearean plays may still be seen there today.

What was the scenery like in the globe?
Scenery in the Globe Theatre was sparse, if not nonexistent, for two reasons. First, with the thrust stage, there was noplace to put any kind of fancy sets. And second, the plays changed scene frequently, far too frequently to change any elaborate sets (unless, like the Victorians, you would pay to watch an evening of stage hands changing sets). As a result, set props were brought on only when absolutely necessary, and for the rest the audience could use its imagination. For example, in As You Like It, where Orlando posts poetry on trees in the forest, the stage pillars would stand in for the trees. The same balcony on which Juliet appeared was also the mast of the ship in the first scene of The Tempest and the walls of Harfleur in Henry V. It didn't look any different in any of those plays; nothing was done to the balcony to make it look more like a bedroom balcony or city walls or a ship.

What is Shakespeares theatre made out of?
Shakespeare's theatre, primarily the Globe Theatre, was constructed mainly of timber, with a thatched roof over the central yard and a stage area. The structure featured wooden beams and supports, along with plaster and wattle-and-daub for the walls. The open-air design allowed for natural lighting and ventilation, creating a vibrant atmosphere for audiences. The use of materials available at the time reflected the Elizabethan era's architectural style.

How many theatres were around London when shakespeare died?
The Globe and The Fortune were doing good business. Henslowe had just opened the Hope in 1614. Newington Butts closed in 1594, the Theatre was closed in 1599, The Rose in 1606, The Boar's Head was just hanging in there (closed just after Shakespeare's death), and the Swan was still there but had not recovered from the fraud performance of "England's Joy" and was falling into ruin. The Red Bull and The Curtain were still available apparently.
Of the indoor theatres, the Blackfriars would last until the Civil War, but the Cockpit was converted to a theatre (by one of the former boy actors of the King's Men, Christopher Beeston) in August 1616, four months after Shakespeare's death. The Whitefriars Theatre had opened in 1608.
So, the Globe, Fortune, Hope, Boar's Head, Swan, Red Bull, Curtain, Blackfriars and Whitefriars: nine theatres that we know of.
