Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Burned Down on This Day in 1613

On June 29, 1613, the original Globe Theatre in London, famously associated with William Shakespeare, was destroyed by fire. The blaze started during a performance of Shakespeare's *Henry VIII* (also known as *All Is True*) when a prop cannon misfired and ignited the thatched roof. Remarkably, no one was killed in the fire, which consumed the wooden structure in about an hour. It was rebuilt by June 1614.
