What happened to the second globe theatre?
The original Globe Theatre burned down during a preformance of Henry VIII in 1613. A theatrical cannon shot ignited the thatched roof of the building. A second Globe Theatre was rebuilt on the same site in June, 1614. However, Puritans became more influential as the century progressed and as a result the theatre was closed in 1642; Puritans were opposed to theatrical preformances. The building was razed in 1644 and replaced by tenements. Following the Great Fire of London in 1666, whatever remained of the Globe, icluding its foundations, was destroyed.
