The revival of theater from the 1660s to the 1680s was largely sparked by the Restoration of Charles II to the English throne in 1660, which reestablished a more permissive cultural climate after years of Puritanical censorship. The reopening of theaters allowed for the resurgence of dramatic arts, with a focus on new forms of comedy and restoration plays that often critiqued societal norms. Additionally, the influence of European theatrical traditions, particularly French drama, brought fresh styles and themes to English audiences. This period marked a vibrant exchange of ideas, leading to the flourishing of playwrights like Aphra Behn and John Dryden.
