Black Friars was a theatre in the Blackfriars district in London during the Renaissance. The name Blackfriars originated from the original owners, Dominican Friars. In 1608, Shakespeare and his company "King's Men" took ownership of the theatre. An enclosed, small theater, the theater was usually used in the winter while the Globe was used in the Summer. Unlike the public open amphitheatres theatres like the Globe, Black Friars served as a private theatre, catering to the wealthy. Shakespeare used the theatre until 1642 when all theatres closed due to the English Civil War. BY 1655, the theatre was demolished
