Playhouses
From 1594, the players performed at The Theatre, in Shoreditch. Problems with the landlord caused the company to move to the nearby Curtain Theatre in 1597. On the night of 29 December 1598, The Theatre was dismantled by the Burbage brothers, William Smith (their financial backer) and carpenter Peter Street, with 10–12 workmen. The beams were then carried south of the river to form part of their new playhouse, the Globe Theatre in Southwark. Built in 1599, this theatre was destroyed in a fire on 29 June 1613. The Globe was rebuilt by June 1614 and finally closed in 1642. A modern reconstruction of the original Globe, named "Shakespeare's globe Theatre" or the "New Globe Theatre," opened in 1997. It is approximately 230 metres (755 ft) from the site of the original theatre off Park Street.
