Who didn't approve of the globe theatre?

Answer 1

Many people felt that the theatres were immoral or at least havens for vice. The Puritan element felt that plays (like dancing and other frivolous entertainments) were actually contrary to the commandments of God, and they therefore abolished the playhouses when they gained power. However, many people in the City of London did not like the idea of so many people gathering in one place, which attracted cutpurses, pickpockets, and prostitutes. They also suspected the playhouses as places where diseases, particularly the plague, spread. For all these reasons public playhouses were not allowed in the City of London, and even the ones in Southwark were closed in times of plague.
