Puritans Prevention of Plays

The Puritans (group of reformed English Protestants) would like to shut down the Globe Theater. The Globe attracts many different kinds of people, from gamblers to beggars and all sorts of other rogues. The young, mischievous people love The Globe and all theaters like it. However, Puritans despise these new theaters due to all of the immoral activities that take place. The objections that the Puritans have about the theaters are quickly spreading among the respectable citizens of society. Many people are beginning to agree with the Puritan's views of the theaters. The Puritans are looking towards Parliament to take action against the theaters to suppress the bad activity that is currently taking place in the theaters.
The Puritans are gaining a lot of power in Parliament. The conflict between the Puritans and Royalists is starting to cause the outbreak of an English Civil War. With their recently gained power, Puritans shut down the theaters that they believe are metaphorical marketplaces of immorality. The people believe that the outcome of the war will determine whether or not the theaters ever open up again. The Puritans have already started to demolish the theaters so it seems unlikely that they will ever reopen. Participation in any plays could result in severe punishment by Puritan authorities due to new strict laws against the theaters. For now, I advise my readers to stay away from the recently outlawed theaters so that no one gets harmed.
