Between Elizabethan and Jacobean theater, the major transition occurred with the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, leading to the reign of King James I. This period saw a shift in theatrical themes and styles, with Jacobean theater often characterized by darker, more complex narratives and a focus on moral ambiguity. The popularity of playwrights like John Webster and the continued works of Shakespeare during this time reflected these changes in societal attitudes and tastes. Additionally, the rise of indoor theaters allowed for a more intimate audience experience, further influencing the evolution of performance.
