1599 a year in the life of william shakespeare

The same shortage of cash made the consortium reluctant traditionalists they gave up the idea of an indoor theatre in the city. Because the inheritance of Burbage’s sons, Cuthbert and Richard, was tied up in the Blackfriars, they formed a consortium with Shakespeare and four other actors, who became co-owners of the new Globe. At the end of 1598, they decided to build one for themselves. Thus, the members of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men were forced to rent a playhouse. He died early in 1597, his plans for the future of theatre in London frustrated. But the wealthy residents of Blackfriars persuaded the government to block its use for plays, so Burbage’s capital was locked up. Twenty years later, when the lease on The Theatre’s land was about to expire, he built the theatre in Blackfriars as its replacement. In 1576 he had built the first successful amphitheatre, known as The Theatre, in a London suburb. The elder Burbage had a long history as a theatrical entrepreneur.

Shakespeare’s company built the Globe only because it could not use the special roofed facility, Blackfriars Theatre, that James Burbage (the father of their leading actor, Richard Burbage) had built in 1596 for it inside the city.
