There is no one theatre which can be identified as "Shakespeare's theatre". Shakespeare performed in a number of different theatres, although most particularly in the two he owned a share in. In any case, the main reasons for theatre closures applied to all the theatres whether they had something to do with Shakespeare or not. There were two of these: all London theatres were periodically closed for a relatively short time for health reasons, and all London theatres were permanently closed in 1642 by law.
