“[D]ramatists were actually imprisoned and otherwise harassed by the State for staging plays thought to be seditious … the dramatists fell foul of the law outside as well as inside the theatre; sedition, atheism, homosexuality and espionage are among the charges made against them” (Jonathan Dollimore, Radical Tragedy 25).

This is very serious, but also, a) seditious, b) atheist, c) gay, and/or d) spying sounds like a tag yourself meme.
