The Puritans objected to all plays, not only Shakespeare's, on a number of grounds. The plays were all about sex and violence, and probably induced people to commit acts of violence or at least impiety. They were full of characters who made bad role models like Macbeth or Falstaff. The actors and playwrights were believed to be persons of bad character, and some of them were atheists. The playhouses stood in the middle of the red light districts so there was constant temptation to other illicit pleasures. The spectacle of seeing a man get up on stage and pretend to be in love with, embrace and kiss another actor pretending to be a girl was obscene and induced lust (not as much as if it had been a real woman, but still . . .) And finally, theatres distracted people from doing the only things proper for people to do: work and go to church.

The performance of religious mystery and miracle plays can easily be traced back to the eleventh century and there is evidence of Latin religious plays earlier than that even.
