The Globe Theatre's Move and Rebuild

In 1598, the landlord of The Theater in Shortich decided to cancel the lease of William Shakespeare's company, Lord Chamberlain's Men. One member of the company, Cuthbert Burbage, realized that while the landlord owned the land, he did not own the theater itself. So, they dismantled the theater, transported it across the Thames, and rebuilt it as The Globe. This move allowed Shakespeare to continue his prolific writing career, producing plays like Julius Caesar and King Lear.
