The Rose Theater is a very well known theater that was created in 1587 in Southwark, right outside the City of London! This theater holds more than just architectural significance but also historical also.  This was the first purpose build playhouse that hosted and staged a production of any of the great Shakespeare plays. This place beautiful, it had two vast and substantial rose gardens. Which as we see gave it its incredible name. The shape of this place was of a fourteen sided polygon. As time went on renovations took place and during the Shakespearean time their was some kind of dislike about it. In 1602 and 1603 the The Rose Theater was briefly used by Worcesters Men, but was completely abandoned in 1605 once the lease ran was done and over with. Many other factors led to this abandonment of the theater like the bubonic plague which limited actors and slowed down their craft, which trickled down to the theater not being in use.
