The Puritans were protestant extremists and thought the theatre was depraved, well they thought anything fun was depraved.
They opposed the idea of people being on stage and pretending to be someone else, they compared it to lying. Theatres were also a place where 'orange girls', would congregate looking for business and the Puritans wanted to stop that.
Theatres were also blamed for spreading the plague, they were never opened in summer just in case. But that was thought before the Puritans put a ban on fun.
