The second Globe Theatre was closed down in 1642 due to the English Civil War and the subsequent rise of the Puritan government, which sought to suppress theatrical performances as part of a broader moral and cultural reform. The Puritans viewed plays as immoral and a distraction from religious devotion. Consequently, the theatre was officially closed, and its activities were deemed illegal until the Restoration in 1660, when public performances resumed.
