The “Globe Theatre”, located in London, is closely associated with William Shakespeare. It was a renowned theater where many of his plays were performed. The original Globe Theatre was built in 1599 and sadly burned down in 1613. However, a modern reconstruction called “Shakespeare’s Globe” now stands near the original site, faithfully showcasing Shakespeare’s works to audiences.
