Best Answer

The role of theatre in Elizabethan England was entertainment. Thousands of people would go the huge variety of theatres every day. They would use the theatre as an excuse not to be working and if they were at the theatre and got bored they would just boo the actors on stage. Another role was expression of freedom. The playwrights could do or say whatever they wanted while on stage and so they would use that to express their view and opinions. The one last role was to bring back the past. Playwrights would try to recreate historic events that happened.
