There was a particularly nasty outbreak of the plague at that time. Since the theatres closed, the actors had to find other ways of making money. Many theatre companies went on tour to country centres, but Shakespeare wrote and published the semi-pornographic poem Venus and Adonis which made him a pile of money.
