Question

The Elizabethan theater as we know it develops slowly. In 1562 the play Gorboduc, the first English play to include blank verse, is performed in front of the queen at the Inner Temple in London. This is written by two gentlemen, Thomas Sackville (the future earl of Dorset) and Thomas Nor­ton, and leaves a lasting impression. Its tale of a kingdom torn between two heirs has great significance for the audience of the day. Other plays follow, drawing on classical themes as well as on ancient British and medieval history, written by (among others) John Heywood, John Pickering, and Lewis Wager. A sign of their success is the construction in 1567 of the first purpose-built theater, the Red Lion, built by John Brayne in Whitechapel.

Development of the Elizabethan Theater

Order of Events:

1. The first event was the play "Gorboduc" by Thomas Sackville and Thomas Norton, which was performed with the Queen in attendance in 1562.

2. The second event was the other classical plays that followed the above mentioned first English play. These plays were" written by (among others) John Heywood, John Pickering, and Lewis Wager."

3. The last event happened in 1567, within five years of the staging of the first play with the construction of the Red Lion (a purpose-built theater) by John Brayne in Whitechapel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of events is called the sequence or chronology. Events depict unusual or important things that happen, especially when they are planned and deliberately executed. The absence of intentional planning and execution renders the occurrence or incident an historical accident.
