Question: Nicholas Brend inherited from his father the land on which the Globe Theatre was built, and on 21 February 1599 leased it to which actor in the King's Men, the playing company for which William Shakespeare wrote?
Context: In Renaissance London, playing company was the usual term for a company of actors.  These companies were organized around a group of ten or so shareholders (or "sharers"), who performed in the plays but were also responsible for management.  The sharers employed "hired men" that is, the minor actors and the workers behind the scenes.  The major companies were based at specific theatres in London; the most successful of them, William Shakespeare's company the King's Men, had the open-air Globe Theatre for summer seasons and the enclosed Blackfriars Theatre in the winters.  The Admiral's Men occupied the Rose Theatre in the 1590s, and the Fortune Theatre in the early 17th century. Shakespeare's Globe is the complex housing a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse associated with William Shakespeare, in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames.  The original theatre was built in 1599, destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644.  The modern Globe Theatre reconstruction is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings.  It is considered quite realistic, though contemporary safety requirements mean that it accommodates only 1400 spectators compared to the original theatre’s 3000. John Heminges (sometimes spelled Heming or Heminge) (bapt.  25 November 1566 – 10 October 1630) was an actor in the King's Men, the playing company for which William Shakespeare wrote.  Along with Henry Condell, he was an editor of the First Folio, the collected plays of Shakespeare, published in 1623.  He was also the financial manager for the King's Men. Nicholas Brend (c. 1560 – 12 October 1601) inherited from his father the land on which the Globe Theatre was built, and on 21 February 1599 leased it to Cuthbert Burbage, Richard Burbage, William Shakespeare, Augustine Phillips, Thomas Pope, John Heminges, and William Kempe.  He died two years later, leaving the property on which the Globe was built to his infant son, Matthew Brend, who did not come of age until 6 February 1621. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was a company of actors, or a "playing company" as it would have been known, for which Shakespeare wrote for most of his career.  Richard Burbage played most of the lead roles, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth while Shakespeare himself performed some secondary roles.  Formed at the end of a period of flux in the theatrical world of London, it had become, by 1603, one of the two leading companies of the city and was subsequently patronized by James I. Thomas Bourke, 4th Baron Bourke of Castleconnell, held his title for only a matter of hours on 28 February 1599.  He was the son of Theobald Bourke (died 19 August 1578), a principal commander against Lord Desmond, and his wife Mary, daughter of Donough O'Brien, Earl of Thomond, and grandson of Sir William Bourke (created Baron Bourke of Castleconnell by Elizabeth I by patent dated 16 May 1580).  Thomas had been preceded as Baron Bourke of Castleconnell by his two elder brothers, John (who sat in parliament in Dublin in 1585 and was slain in battle at Hounslow, Middlesex on 14 January 1592, leaving no issue) and Richard (slain in battle by Dermot O'Connor Sligo at Ballynecargy, County Limerick on 28 February 1599, also leaving no issue). Sir Matthew Brend (6 February 1600 – 1659) inherited from his father, Nicholas Brend, the land on which the first and second Globe Theatres were built, and which Nicholas Brend had leased on 21 February 1599 for a 31-year term to Cuthbert Burbage, Richard Burbage, William Shakespeare, Augustine Phillips, Thomas Pope, John Heminges, and William Kempe.  During much of the time he was the legal owner of the Globe, Matthew Brend was underage, and his properties were managed for him by Sir Matthew Browne, John Collet, Sir John Bodley, and Sir Sigismund Zinzan.  In 1623 Brend conveyed the property on which the Globe was built to his wife, Frances, as part of her jointure.  In 1632 he was sued in the Court of Requests by the remaining original lessee, Cuthbert Burbage, and others, for an extension of their original lease. Henry Condell (5 September 1576 (baptised) – December 1627) was an actor in the King's Men, the playing company for which William Shakespeare wrote.  With John Heminges, he was instrumental in preparing and editing the First Folio, the collected plays of Shakespeare, published in 1623. The Sam Wanamaker Playhouse is an indoor theatre forming part of Shakespeare's Globe, along with the Globe Theatre on Bankside, London.  Built making use of 17th-century plans for an indoor theatre, the playhouse recalls the layout and style of the Blackfriars Theatre, although it is not an exact reconstruction.  Its shell was built during the construction of the Shakespeare's Globe complex, notable for the reconstruction of the open-air Globe Theatre of the same period.  The shell was used as a space for education workshops and rehearsals until enough money was raised to complete the playhouse.  It opened in January 2014, named after Sam Wanamaker, the leading figure in the Globe's reconstruction. The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare.  It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, on land owned by Thomas Brend and inherited by his son, Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew Brend, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613.  A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed by an Ordinance issued on 6 September 1642.
