Disasters which closed the Globe Theatre – the Puritans The Puritans had been the source of many problems within the early English theatre. The first Globe Theatre was built due to the refusal of a puritan called Giles Allen to renew the lease of the ‘Theatre’. The Puritans gained additional power and support during the early 1600’s. In 1642, under the force of the Puritans, the English Parliament issued an ordinance suppressing all stage plays in the theatres. The strict religious views of the Puritans spread to encompass many social activities within England including the activities in the Globe theatre.
