  2. Top 10 Facts about The Globe Theater The Globe was built in a similar style to the Coliseum, but on a smaller scale. The Globe Theatre was built in with the materials and timber 'stolen' from the first 'Theatre' in 1599 when William Shakespeare and the Chamberlain's men were forced to leave because the Puritan owner refused to re-new the lease. It only took six months! In 1591 the growing popularity of theatres led to a law closing all theatres were closed on Thursdays so that the bull and bear baiting industries would not be neglected The Globe theatre was also used for gambling and for immoral purposes. Outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague were so serious that the Globe Theatre was forced to close. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 William Shakespeare and his company built TWO Globe Theatres - on 29 June 1613 a fire at the original Globe burnt it to the ground. A new Globe was re-built in 1614 The motto of the Globe theatre was  "Totusmundusagithistrionem" ( the whole world is a playhouse ). No women were allowed to work as actors - female roles were taken by young lads who wore women's clothes and elaborate make-up. The lead content in the white make-up led to many early deaths of the boy actors Different colored flags were used to advertise the themes of plays which were to be performed. A black flag indicated a tragedy, a white flag indicated a comedy and a red flag indicated a History. The Globe Theatre was demolished by the Puritans. On 15th April 1644 landowner Sir Matthew Brend demolished the playhouse and built tenement houses on the site. http://cuabroad.cua.edu/programs/DramaticAcademy.cfm http://www3.northern.edu/wild/th100/globe4.jpg
