Shakespeare's theatres, particularly the Globe Theatre, were closed in 1592 due to the Bubonic Plague, which led to the shutdown of public performances in London. They remained closed intermittently until 1594, when the plague subsided. The theatres faced further closures during the English Civil War, with a final closure in 1642 when the Puritan government banned theatrical performances altogether.

Why did the theatres close in shakespeares time?

They were closed a couple of times in the 1590's because there was an outbreak of the bubonic plague in the City, and it was thought that disease would spread more if the theatres were open. The actors then went on tour of the country and Shakespeare made himself rich writing long poems like Venus and Adonis.

Who closed William Shakespeare's theaters?

Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres: The Globe and The Blackfriars. They were closed by the government during times of plague. All of the theatres were closed down in 1642 by the Puritan government because they thought plays had a bad effect on people. But of course by that time Shakespeare had been dead for 26 years and he had no interest in any theatres.
