The Original Globe · Built in 1599 · Burned down on 29 June, 1613, during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII (then known as All Is True). So far as is known, it was an accident, caused by sparks from special-effects canon-fire landing on the thatched roof. Eyewitnesses report that one man was burned slightly while rescuing a child caught in the blaze; his flaming breeches were doused with ale. |
