The Quiz: William Shakespeare’s plays were performed mostly at what theater?
Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Thames Theatre
Rose Theatre
Globe Theatre
Arguably the most famous theater in history, the Globe Theatre in London was where the Bard staged many of his best-known plays, including “Henry V,” “As You Like It,” “Hamlet,” “Othello,” “Macbeth,” and “Antony and Cleopatra.” (Shakespeare was actually one of six shareholders in the theater.) The venue burned down in 1613 when a prop cannon set the theater’s thatched roof on fire during a performance of “Henry VIII,” but it was rebuilt the following year — only to then be closed down by the Puritans in 1642. A modern recreation of the Globe opened along the Thames in 1997.
The correct answer to this quiz is Globe Theatre.
