Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There were at least five major outbreaks of bubonic plague in London during Shakespeare’s lifetime and though these outbreaks didn’t reach the devastation of the Black Death, they all had a major impact on the population, particularly in towns and more populated areas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The plague closed London’s playhouses and forced Shakespeare’s acting company, the King’s Men, to get creative about performances.
