. Sparks that flew from a cannon used during the production ignited a thatched roof of the gallery, resulting in the fire. The theater was rebuilt with a tile roof and reopened a year later. The Puritans closed all the theaters in London in 1642, including the Globe. Remnants of the building were discovered in 1989 and a replica of the theater was built and opened in 1997. It sports the first thatched roof permitted in London since the Great Fire of London in 1666.  more
