What gave William Shakespeare the idea to build the Globe Theatre?
It wasn't his idea. He had nothing to do with the concept. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage had inherited from their father The Theatre, a playhouse north of London in Shoreditch. This was the first successful building built in England specifically to perform plays in, built long before Shakespeare was involved in the theatre scene. The Lord Chamberlain's Men played at the Theatre for a couple of years, but the building was built on rented ground and the landlord was a jerk who didn't like actors and he refused to allow them to perform plays there. For three years the Chamberlain's Men performed at the Curtain and the Theatre sat there unused.
Then Richard and Cuthbert had an idea. While the landlord was away from London, they would get their carpenter friend, Peter Street, to dismantle The Theatre, and take all the timbers to a different property, and then use them to build a totally new theatre. (Which would be called the Globe) They were a little short of money for this project so they asked their friends to kick in a little. One of those friends was Shakespeare.
So, as you see, Shakespeare had very little to do with the building of the Globe, and it is totally misleading to call it "Shakespeare's Theatre".
