There was a particularly nasty outbreak of plague.
In london, all the theatres were closed down between 1593 and 1594 due to the plague. I hope this helps

I think because the church thought it was 'of the devil' and because the church had a lot of power they shut down the theatres. Be assured the church has moved on now and it is generally far more welcoming!
The thing that closed down all the theaters was the plague. and beacause they snack a woman in the play
Plague. Pneumonic plague, to be precise.
The Puritans closed down the Globe because they believed that theatres were anti-religious and a place of sin. Many other theatres were closed down as well.
Outbreaks of plague, which would be pneumonic plague rather than bubonic plague (sometimes known as the Black Death), within the City of London, caused the theatres close to the City to be closed down, including the ones Shakespeare was working at. Henslowe's Diary suggests that in 1594, towards the end of a particularly nasty plague outbreak, the Lord Chamberlain's Men (which would have included Shakespeare) were performing at Newington Butts theatre south of London and out of the plague area.
the puritans wanted to close down the theaters in Shakespeare time
