Shelby Kaufman · Answer 1

Blackfriars Theatre.

Explanation:

Ian Mortimer's book The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England tells the history of what life was like during the Elizabethan Era. The book gives an insight into the society of that time and allows us readers to have a feeling of what it really must be like living in that period.

From the given excerpt, the author narrates how the theaters began to be opened during the Elizabethan age. Philip Henslowe built The Rose in 1587, followed by Francis Langley's The Swan in 1595. Then in 1596, Richard Burbage constructed the Blackfriars Theatre which opened its doors from 1599 only. Thus, the Blackfriar was the last to be opened.
