Globe Theatre

In 1604 his name is joined in a patent with that of Laurence Fletcher for the Globe theatre.

The Globe Theatre was there, of which Shakspeare himself was a proprietor, and for which he wrote his plays.

A monument was put up in the chancel a few years later, the work of a London sculptor living near the "Globe Theatre."

The play was performed early in 1599, probably in the newly built Globe Theatre.

Thus Shakespeare drew from the Globe Theatre, at the lowest estimate, more than £500 a year in all.
