The first theatre was called The Globe Theatre. It was built in 1599 by the Chamberlain's Men, a theatre company that included William Shakespeare. The Globe was a large, circular wooden structure that could hold up to 3,000 people. It was located on the south bank of the River Thames in London.
The Globe Theatre was torn down in 1644 by the Puritans, who considered it to be a sinful place of entertainment. The Puritans were a religious group that believed that people should not engage in activities that were considered to be immoral or wasteful. They believed that the theatre was a place where people went to see plays that were full of violence and nudity. They also believed that the theatre was a place where people gambled and drank alcohol.
The Globe Theatre was rebuilt in 1997. The new theatre is located near the site of the original theatre. It is a faithful reconstruction of the original theatre, and it is used to perform Shakespeare's plays and other Elizabethan dramas.
