The plays, the playwrights, the politics, and the propaganda all are an important part in the history of Elizabethan theater. The theater was an expanding industry in the Elizabethan era. Many theaters were built all around London in this time. The excitement, the money, and the fame are what led Elizabethan theatre entrepreneurs, men who had all of the ideas and actors into working into the famous Elizabethan theater.
