Elizabethan society
The Elizabethan era was considered as the golden age that was ruled by Queen Elizabeth I’s from 1558-1603. In this era, the Elizabethan Theatre shone famously through plays written by William Shakespeare as we still remember him today and many other play writers and composers. Many historical events occurred during this era such as, music and poetry, battles between the religions Protestant and Catholics, battles between parliaments and monarchy, break through of exploration and many others.

  The Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London that has been associated with William Shakespeare. The Theatre was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, but soon after on June 29, 1613 it was burnt down. In 1614, another Globe theatre was built on the same site but was closed in 1642. A lot of plays were composed to be performed in the Globe Theatre and at that time, a lot of money was made.
