The event that most directly caused the council to order the closure of all theaters in London was Jonson and Nashe writing The Isle of Dogs.

This is what the excerpt of the time says:

The play for which he is arrested, The Isle of Dogs, coauthored with Thomas Nashe, is so slanderous and offensive that the privy council orders the closure not just of the play but of every theater in London.
