If you mean the productions and style of production put on during the life of Shakespeare, they were naturally most important during the life of Shakespeare (1564-1616), although they have a lingering influence, and Elizabethan staging has actually become more important in the late 20th century as thrust stages became more common. However, the plays Shakespeare wrote have never stopped being important and central to English-speaking theatre.
