Theatre has evolved through many eras and generations with a very exciting history, one of the first theatres was the Globe theatre in London where a lot of William Shakespeare's work was shown. During the middle ages, theatre was largely made up of plays based on bible stories and were often preformed by priests and leading church members, and was used as a way of targeted to teach Catholic doctrine, but the Protestant Reformation targeted the theatre in order to stop this.
But, By the end of the 1500's Queen Elizabeth was effectively controlling the stage through a system of patronage, licensing and censorship.
London's newest theatre is due to open in 2008 and is the Cameron Mackintosh's Sondheim Theatre in Shaftesbury square.
