The origins of English drama began with pagan fertility rites based on nature cycles that celebrated seasons like spring. The church took interest in pagan celebrations and turned them into liturgical dramas commemorating Christian events. These dramas moved from churches to town squares and changed from Latin to English. In the 13th to 15th centuries, mystery and morality plays performed by trade guilds used pageants to depict biblical stories and personify virtues.

The Globe Theatre in London was built in 1599 and was the venue where many of Shakespeare's plays were first performed, including his major tragedies. It was constructed by Shakespeare's business associate Cuthbert Burbage for the acting company to which Shakespeare belonged. The Globe was an open-air, three-story, circular structure with different seating areas for different classes of patrons. It lacked modern amenities like electricity, so performances were held during the day. The original Globe burned down in 1613 but was rebuilt, remaining open until 1642 when the Puritans closed it.Globe Theatre
