40、 lies in the fact that the first theaters of London were built there in the seventeenth century.The Shoreditch Theater was the first real theater to be built in England and was erected within the precincts of Holywell Priory, where the players were outside the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor, for sta
41、ge plays were forbidden. Companies of players, however, were springing up all over the country, generally under the protection of some nobleman. Amongst these were the Earl of Leicesters Servants, with James Burbage as their manager. Burbage borrowed - 600 from his father-in-law and built the Shored
42、itch Theater, a round wooden structure, which was afterwards carefully pulled down by his son Richard and re-erected in Southward as the Globe.

44、ge from the auditorium. This theater had associations with Burbage and Green players from the town of Stratford-on-Avon, and later with the son of a Stratford butcher, who was a boy at school when the theater was built. His name was William Shakespeare. He came to London as a young man and was emplo
45、yed at the Curtain in minor parts, but his chief work was adapting plays, from which he proceeded to write them.Not far away was another theater, the Fortune, aptly-named, for it was owned by Alleyn who made his money from it. 81 The Shoreditch Theater was built in the shape of _.（A）an oblong（B） a s
