Disapproval of theater is very common in history. Plato of course condemned anything that was not "true," including drama. The Christian church only likes Passion plays, and doesn't like them very much. Moliere is buried in unhallowed ground because theater people were routinely excommunicated in Catholic France. Unpopular or repressive political regimes - the Puritans in 17th Century England, for example - are forever banning plays and closing theaters.
