the Puritan 'rump' Parliament closed them because 1642 was the start of the English Civil war. Puritan views of the theater were very negative because they felt (not all and there are many other reasons) that the drinking/killing/lying done by the actors on stage was contagious and would infect the crowd. hope that helped.
