The rebuilt Shakespeare's Globe Theatre sits on the south side of the Thames, same as the original Globe Theatre of Shakespeare's time. When all theatres were forbidden in the good city of London, the actors moved across the river to continue their work of corrupting the good people of London. During a performance of Henry VIII in 1613, a cannon shot sparked a blaze that burned down the original Globe. It was rebuilt soon thereafter before it was finally burned for good by the Puritans. It's always the Puritans.
