Richard Burbage (307 words)
At the time of his father's death, a lawsuit was in progress against the lessor from whom James Burbage held the land on which The Theatre stood.
This suit was continued by Richard and his brother Cuthbert, and in 1599 they pulled down the Shoreditch house and used the materials to erect the Globe theatre, famous for its connection with Shakespeare.
In this venture Richard Burbage had Shakespeare and others as his partners, and it was in one or the other of these houses that he gained his greatest triumphs, taking the lead part in almost every new play.
