Why did politicians and clergy opposed the globe theatre?
The Globe, along with other theatres such as The Rose, The Swan, and The Hope, was located in Southwark, a borough south of the River Thames famous for brothels and general lawlessness. A theatre might bring 3000 people together--a ripe prospect for pickpockets and cutpurses. It was also a place where prostitutes could solicit for business. Clergymen opposed this on moral grounds (although some of them owned the brothels in Southwark) and politicians on the grounds that theatres increase crime and (it was thought) disease. The Puritan clergy opposed theatres on the general ground that enjoying oneself was contrary to God's law (a point of view still heard today), and when those clergymen got control of the government all of the theatres in the country including the Globe were closed. It was as a result of this that the Globe was torn down in 1642.
