The Globe Theater.Shakespeare was one of a number of men who put up money and property to fund the construction of a new theatre in 1599. Half of the cost was paid for by the brothers Cuthbert and Richard Burbage. The builder's name was Peter Street. The theatre's name was The Globe Playhouse.It was not "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre". That is the name of the replica of the Globe opened in 1997, a famous theatre to be sure, but not likely the one you are thinking of.Globe Theater
It depended on the theatre. At the Globe, which was larger and held more people, you could get a standee ticket for one penny. At the Blackfriars, which was smaller and had a roof, the cheapest tickets (which gave you something to sit on) cost sixpence.
