This question is too vague to give a clear answer to. Shakespeare and his company were threatened with prosecution when they performed Richard II at the behest of the Earl of Essex as a part of his crazy scheme to overthrow the monarchy, but nothing came of it. This is the only recorded incident where Shakespeare was threatened in any way, but then most of the incidents in his life went unrecorded.
