Detailed explanation-1: -This “golden age” represented the apogee of the English Renaissance and saw the flowering of poetry, music and literature. The era is most famous for its theatre, as William Shakespeare and many others composed plays that broke free of England’s past style of theatre.
Detailed explanation-2: -The plays are usually divided into four groups and illustrate the broad scope of Elizabethan theatre in general. These categories are: comedies, romances, histories, and tragedies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why was the theatre so popular? Elizabeth encouraged the theatre, which made it fashionable. It was an affordable entertainment (costing as little as a penny for a two hour play). The theatre was a good place to socialise.
