Quickfacts

• The Globe Theater was originally called the
  Shakespeare Memorial Theater, but was changed to
  the Royal Shakespeare Theater in 1961 by the
  order of Queen Elizabeth II.
• The theaters closed during the tragic outbreaks
  of the plague because it was feared it would
  spread more quickly in crowds.
• Some people thought going to the theater was a
  sin and the plague was a punishment sent by God.
