Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. "More theaters open their doors to the public. The Rose is built by Philip Henslowe at Southwark, not far from the bear-baiting and bull-baiting arenas, in 1587. Eight years later Francis Langley erects the Swan on a site nearby; and in 1596 Richard Burbage builds the Blackfriars Theatre, an indoor venue, although it does not open its doors until 1599." Which theater opened the last?

Answer:

Blackfriars Theatre.

Step-by-step 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.
