The history of Spanish and Elizabethan theatre studies is notable. These theaters were known for producing high-quality plays. But, Elizabethan as well as Spanish influences were heavily dependent on the global political power of these regimes. The traditions of both theaters are similar, regardless of political power. Sokolova (2010) claims that the Queen had an enormous influence on theater activity. Theater companies had to apply for permits from Queen Elizabeth. The majority of the performances were supported by the royal family. The Queen was a significant figure. Additionally, Spanish theatre troupes were funded by the aristocracy. It is clear that the rich have a significant impact on the arts in the case of these theaters. Amelang (2018) reveals that, in most cases, wealthy people did so to ensure that plays did not deal with class issues. This was because the focus was placed on controlling the material of the playwrights.
But these theaters have distinct functions. It is notable that the Spanish plays were financed by nobles, but the audiences consisted of families with low incomes. The entertainment was provided by the aristocracy for those with lower social status. The Queen, on the other hand, was a passionate part of Elizabethan audiences during plays. Because of this, authors were quick to write works that support the ideas and values of the royal family. The Spanish were to be regulated by the nobles and distributed to the low-income families.
