    The Globe Theater was the theater that Shakespeare and his players, The Lord Chamberlain's Men, used in London. The theater was destroyed in 1613 in the Great Fire of London. Today there is a marker on the original site of the Globe, and a new building has been built to be a near exact replica. Plays are performed there today.
