In 1642 an ordinance closed the theatres of England. Historians have assumed that the edict was to be firm and inviolate. Susan Wiseman challenges this assumption and argues that the period 1640 to 1660 was not a gap in the production and performance of drama. Rather, writers focused instead on a range of dramas with political perspectives, from republican to royalist.
