The Elizabethan theatre came to an end when Parliament passed a law making it illegal to put on plays in 1642.
The Puritans had always distrusted theatre for the way it made people think and question authority, in turn several playwrights had openly parodied Puritan attitudes onstage. (Malvolio in Twelfth Night is a puritan, and a killjoy; Zealoftheland Busy in Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair is much nastier - and just as funny).
As the religious extremists gained more control they made things progressively difficult for actors, until the final closure act in 1642.
Theatres would not re-open until the Restoration in 1660 - by which time few people remembered the old plays, and tastes in theatre had changed.
