Outbreaks of disease, namely pneumonic plague, caused the theatres to be closed, not regularly, but intermittently. As a health measure, the authorities closed down places where people met in large numbers (except the churches of course). From what we know now, this probably did help prevent the spread of plague. However, it was really harsh on the theatrical companies who were forced to go on much less profitable tours of the country towns, and were occasionally reduced to selling or pawning their scripts or costumes to get some cash. The very long plague closure in 1583-4 put a number of companies out of business.
