the Isle of Dogs is generally a play written by Thomas Na-she and Ben Johnson. this play was performed in 1597 in London, it was considered slanderous and offensive even that the writer was arrested and no single copy of it was ever found.

The privy council orders the closure not just the play but that theater where it was performed in London, it takes further to closure of all theaters in London.
