The Globe Theater was home to many of the productions of Shakespeare's later plays. It was built out of the de-constructed Theater, which was dismantled in the middle of the night and removed to another location, where it became the basis of the Globe. It burned down a few years later, but was rapidly rebuilt as the New Globe. Like other theatres of the time it was open to the sky and to the weather, but was capable of holding hundreds more people and, therefore, making more money for Shakespeare and his co-owners.
