Question: Nicholas Brend leased the Globe to which first great English theatre actor?
Context: 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. Shernaz Patel is an Indian film and theatre actor, who works in Hindi and English films, most known for her roles in films like "Black" (2005) and "Guzaarish" (2010) and English language theatre in Mumbai.  She made her theatre debut with "The Diary Of Anne Frank" in 1984.  Since then, she has acted in several noted productions in Mumbai-based English theatre, and formed RAGE theatre group in Mumbai, with Rahul da Cunha and Rajit Kapur in 1993.  She has also given voice to the character of Yashoda in the TV series Little Krishna. Richard Burbage (6 January 1567 – 12 March 1619) is considered the first great actor of English theatre.  He is one of the most famous actors of the Globe Theatre of his time.  In addition to being a stage actor he was also a theatre owner, entrepreneur and painter.  He was the younger brother of Cuthbert Burbage.  They were both actors in drama.  Burbage was a business associate and friend to William Shakespeare. Geraldine James, OBE (born 6 July 1950) is an English actress.  For her role as Portia in the 1989 Broadway revival of "The Merchant of Venice", she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play and won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play.  She also won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the 1989 Venice Film Festival for "She's Been Away".  Theatre director Peter Hall says James ranks amongst the great English classical actresses. John Parkinson (1567–1650; buried 6 August 1650) was the last of the great English herbalists and one of the first of the great English botanists.  He was apothecary to James I and a founding member of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in December 1617, and was later Royal Botanist to Charles I.  He is known for two monumental works, "Paradisi in Sole Paradisus Terrestris" ("Park-in-Sun's Terrestrial Paradise", 1629), which generally describes the proper cultivation of plants; and "Theatrum Botanicum" ("The Botanical Theatre" or "Theatre of Plants", 1640), the most complete and beautifully presented English treatise on plants of its time.  One of the most eminent gardeners of his day, he kept a botanical garden at Long Acre in Covent Garden, today close to Trafalgar Square, and maintained close relations with other important English and Continental botanists, herbalists and plantsmen. The Arundel Society was founded at London in 1849 and named after the Earl of Arundel, the famous collector of the Arundel Marbles and one of the first great English patrons and lovers of the arts.  The society was originally the idea of the lawyer Bellenden Ker and was founded at a meeting in the house of the famous painter Charles Eastlake, attended by Eastlake, Ker, Giovanni Aubrey Bezzi, and Edmund Oldfield.  The society's purpose was to promote knowledge of the art works of the old Italian, Flemish, and other European masters.  Much of the work of the society consisted of publishing chromolithographs of Italian art works, especially fresco paintings, of earlier centuries and raising public awareness for the preservation of these works.  One of the people most responsible for furthering the goals of the society was Henry Layard, who joined in 1852.  Some of the other important early members were John Ruskin, Charles Thomas Newton, and Henry Liddell.  Members of the Society's Council in 1877 included Frederick William Burton, Lord Elcho (Francis Charteris), Edward Poynter, George Edmund Street, Philip Charles Hardwick, George Richmond, and the architect John Norton.  The society was discontinued in 1897. 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. Lancelot Brown (born c. 1715–16, baptised 30 August 1716 – 6 February 1783), more commonly known with the byname Capability Brown, was an English landscape architect.  He is remembered as "the last of the great English 18th century artists to be accorded his due" and "England's greatest gardener".  He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure.  He was nicknamed "Capability" because he would tell his clients that their property had "capability" for improvement.  His influence was so great that the contributions to the English garden made by his predecessors Charles Bridgeman and William Kent are often overlooked; even Kent's apologist Horace Walpole allowed that Kent had been followed by "a very able master". 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.
