The Globe
Plays and Players
Though the Globe is widely thought to have been Shakespeare's theatre, the following list illustrates that many playwrights had plays performed there. Both during and after Shakespeare's life, the Globe staged works by many prominent dramatists of the day, including Ben Jonson.

The following information is taken from the Appendix of The Shakespearean Stage 1574-1642, third edition, by Andrew Gurr (Cambridge, 1992). Gurr's principal sources are Harbage's Annals of the English Drama 975-1700, third edition, revised by Sylvia Stoler Wagonheim, 1989; E. K. Chambers' The Elizabethan Stage (4 vols., Oxford 1923); and G.E. Bentley's The Jacobean and Caroline Stage (7 vols., Oxford, 1941-68).
