The Globe Theatre is a reconstructed Elizabethan playhouse located on the South Bank of the Thames in Southwark, London (not Surrey). The original Globe was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the playing company to which William Shakespeare belonged, and served as the venue for performances of his works and those of his contemporaries until its destruction by fire in 1613. The modern reconstruction, completed in 1997, was built approximately 230 metres from the site of the original theatre using period-appropriate timber-frame construction techniques and thatched roof, though incorporating modern safety requirements. The reconstructed building functions as both a working theatre and a museum dedicated to Elizabethan drama and performance history.
