London’s First Public Playhouse
The Theatre was the first London playhouse, built in 1576 by the English actor and entrepreneur James Burbage, father of the great actor and friend of Shakespeare, Richard Burbage. It was located in a northern suburb of London (north of London Wall which bounded the city proper); on the edge of Finsbury Fields, just past Bishopsgate Street, where Shakespeare called home up to 1597.

Shakespeare, one of the foremost of the Great Elizabethan playwrights and also a notable Actor, was a member of an Acting Troupe called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men.

During Shakespeare’s time, the principal theaters in London were The Rose, The Swan, The Hope, The Theater, and Blackfriars. Some of these theaters were open-aired while others were roofed. The Lord Chamberlain’s Men originally performed at the venue known simply as the Theater, which had been built in 1576 on the outskirts of London by the famous actor-turned-entrepreneur, James Burbage.

Shakespeare Hits the Big Time
Blackfriars Theatre was built by Richard Burbage in 1596 on the northern bank of the Thames. Unlike the public theatres, private theatres such as the Blackfriars had roofs and specifically catered to the wealthy and highly educated classes of London society. In addition, while there were strict regulations on public playhouses within the circuit of the old city wall, the private theatres in London were built upon grounds that belonged to the church — grounds that had been appropriated by Henry VIII and were therefore not under the control of the Lord Mayor.
