William Shakespeare was one of the original investors in the Globe Theatre, contributing £10 for a 12.5% share of the theatre.

The Globe Theatre could hold up to 3,000 audience members, with different areas offering varying levels of comfort and cost.

Contrary to popular belief, the Globe Theatre wasn't round. Excavations revealed it was an icosagon, a 20-sided polygon.

The original remains of the Globe Theatre were discovered in 1989, hidden beneath a car park.

The second Globe Theatre was outlawed by the Puritan Long Parliament in 1660, and the building was eventually torn down.

A new Globe Theatre was built in 1997, replicating the original structure and offering a glimpse into Shakespeare's time.
