In 1598, Shakespeare and The King's Men built their own theater named The Globe. He described it as "this wooden O" due to the circular design. This broke away from the traditional rectangular shape of theaters in that time. Performances were advertised through playbills posted around the city, and they took place during the hours of daylight when the weather was suitable. Admission was very inexpensive as the best seats boasted no more than one shilling ($7 today). The cheapest seats in the house costed only one penny (60 cents today) where guests stood around the stage with no cover from the rain. Plays usually lasted around 2 hours. The Globe Theater was able to hold over 2,300 people.

There are many places surrounding the theater (restaurants, novelties, museums, etc.) that add on to the culture of London. At this theater, you can see many of the most famous Shakespearean plays like The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, Bartholomew Fair, etc. These plays are only shown in the Summer and tickets are limited.
