The Globe was first built in 1599 and was one of the first playhouses to open in London. Before the Globe, actors had been homeless. They had traveled around the country performing in various places. The playhouse served as a home for them and also as entertainment for many people.

The Globe's appearance is circular, but it actually is polygonal and has twenty sides. Most buildings around the time the Globe was built were long, narrow, and low, but the Globe was almost the exact opposite. It was three stories high and almost circular.
