jonson and nashe writing the isle of dogs

It says in the excerpt that "the isle of dogs...is so slanderous and offensive that the privy council orders the closure...of every theater in London." While it is clear from the list of events that happened in his life, Jonson is not seen as a reputable person, his becoming a playwright and killing another actor in a duel did not cause the theaters to be shut down. The council closed the theaters because he wrote a play, which was to be performed, that was offensive. This in turn made the council shut down all the theaters so that the play could not be performed.
