[edit] Events

With the London theatres closed by the Puritan regime during the English Civil War, closet drama grows in prominence. Henry Burkhead's Cola's Fury, or Lirenda's Misery is published in 1645. A tragedy on the 1641 rebellion in Ireland ("Lirenda" is an anagram), Burkhead presents the historical persons involved under pseudonyms: among others, the Duke of Ormonde is "Osiris," and Sir John Borlace in "Berosus."
