Queen Elizabeth – (1558 – 1603):

Her distant cousin - James 1 king of England (1603 – 1625) his period was known as The Jacobean Period – after his death Charles 1 became king (1625 – 1649)his period was known as The Carolean Period (drama was about court corrystion church with the court) society divided into two groups.
1. Cavaliers 'court, nobles, upper class, church' they enjoy the beauty of life.
2. Puritans 'middle class and poor' they wanted a reformation and they were against the church.

In 1642 there was a gap between Puritans and Cavaliers which leaded to a civil war. In 1649 Charles 1 was killed his son Charles 2 fled to France.Charles1 was a Catholic so he was killed by the Puritans.
England was declared by the commonwealth and Oliver Cromwell became the protector.
Oliver Cromwell in 1658 there was chaos. At 1660 Charles 2 came with a French army and defeated the Puritans and became king. This period was known as The Restoration Period (1660 – 1700).
At 1649 Cromwell closed the theaters, after 12 years in 1660 they were reopened and Charles 2 allowed women to play there rolls on stage so the corruption grew and because of that dramatists wrote comedies.
DRAMA:
In 16th century Elizabeth became ruler it was The Golden Era of drama Shakespeare, Kyd and others diversified the topic of drama and it became a big industry in Shakespeare Period because Shakespeare was more a business man than a dramatist. In that time there were only two theaters and they were owned by princess. Dramatists used to sell them their plays but when Shakespeare became famous he refuse to sell and became a partner with the owners of the theater. His aim was the enjoyment of people and he used to act in his plays.
Puritans didn't want plays to be acted in church but they weren't strong enough. After Elizabeth died they gained more power and killed Charles 1 and closed the theaters so dramatists stopped writing but when Charles 2 became king he reopened the theater and dramatists started writing again, but this time they were comedies because women were allowed to play
