After the death of OLIVER CROMWELL (1658) the Puritan authoritarian regime came to an end. When the English monarchy under King CHARLES II was re-established in 1660 theatres re-opened, popular plays were performed again, and there was also a demand for new dramatists and their works. In this period a specific kind of drama was created – the so-called Restoration drama.

The first English plays – written and performed in the 14th century – told religious stories and took place in churches. In the following two centuries, under the influence of the Renaissance, the topics and performance of plays changed. It is the period marking the transition from the medieval to the modern world. Renaissance plays no longer dealt with religious subjects. In London, in the 1570s the first institutionalized public playhouses, The Rose and The Theatre, were built. SHAKESPEARE, together with some actors, had a playhouse built on the south bank of the Thames: the Globe Theatre, which opened in 1599. The Elizabethan theatre was a public place open to people of all social classes, because everybody could afford the price for standing-room. Consequently, the play had to meet the expectations of all classes.
