The Globe Theatre was built in London in 1599 and funded by the Lord Chamberlain's Men acting troupe, for whom William Shakespeare wrote many of his plays. It was an iconic wooden structure without electricity where performances took place during the day. The Globe burned down during a performance of Henry VIII in 1613 when a theatrical cannon misfired, but was rebuilt on the same site the following year before being closed by Puritans in 1642. A modern reconstruction was built in 1997.
