Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to
Elizabethan England.
Eight years later Francis Langley erects the Swan on a
site nearby; and in 1596 Richard Burbage builds the
Blackfriars Theatre, an indoor venue, although it does
not open its doors until 1599. Most important of all,
Shakespeare, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, and their
partners dismantle The Theatre and remove its beams
to a new site at Southwark, where it is rebuilt in 1599 as
the Globe. When Edward Alleyn builds the Fortune on
the northern edge of the city in 1600, the array of
Elizabethan theaters is complete.
