What disease caused shakespeare theaters to shut down?

Outbreaks of plague, which would be pneumonic plague rather than bubonic plague (sometimes known as the Black Death), within the City of London, caused the theatres close to the City to be closed down, including the ones Shakespeare was working at. Henslowe's Diary suggests that in 1594, towards the end of a particularly nasty plague outbreak, the Lord Chamberlain's Men (which would have included Shakespeare) were performing at Newington Butts theatre south of London and out of the plague area.

Why did local officials try to close theaters in shakespeare's time?

Some of them thought that the content of the plays caused immorality, although they were censored by the Master of the Revels. Some of them thought they provided a great opportunity for pickpockets. They were associated with prostitutes and other low-lifes because they were not allowed to set up theatres in respectable parts of town. Many people thought bringing people together like that was a way to spread disease, so the theatres were often closed when there was a plague epidemic.

What are diseases?

A disease is an abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism. It is often construed to be a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by external factors, such as infectious disease, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. There are four main types of disease: pathogenic disease, deficiency disease, hereditary disease, and physiological disease. In many cases, the terms disease, disorder, morbidity and illness are used interchangeably. In some situations, specific terms are considered preferable.
