• 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."
