The builder who stored the timbers of the Theatre was Peter Streete. Once the weather was better Streete took the timber across the Thames, to Southwark, and used them to build the Globe theater.
Southwark was the perfect place to build a theater. In this area, there were two theaters, animal baiting arenas, taverns, and brothels. In fact, most of the people went there to be entertained.
Streete and other built a brick base for the theater, the walls were made from big timber frames, filled with smaller slats of wood covered with plaster that had cow hair in it. the owners were struggling for money so they used the cheapest options in the building process.
In 1599 the theater opened and was a huge success.

The first Globe was built by the company Shakespeare was in the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Richard Burbage was the company’s leading actor. They had played at the Theatre, built by the Burbage family on land leased from a Mr. Allen.
In 1597, Allen refused to renew the lease so the Burbage owned the theater and they took it down.
After, the Burbages couldn't build another new theater, so they thought to offer five to the company to become part-owners for 10£ each. In this way, they could build a new theatre on the south bank of the River Thames, near Rose Theather.
