Answer:

1789

Step-by-step explanation:

Legal restrictions on new theaters were circumvented as early as 1789. The Theatres Act of 1843, which established London's first "free theater," was a result of the Reform Bill of 1832, which granted political rights to the city's newly empowered middle class. The anticipated influx of new theater structures did not materialize, and no significant construction projects were undertaken for 16 years. This is most likely due to the fact that there were already a sufficient number of illegal theaters in operation at the time the act was passed. The Parisian boulevard theaters, on the other hand, had an easier time getting established. Both the London patent houses and the Comedie-Francaise, France's national theater, saw their audiences dwindle due to the rise of middle-class theaters. To keep up with the boulevard theaters and the Comedie-waning Francaise's patronage, the French national theater finally gave in and staged works by the new generation of playwrights.

I hope this helps you
