In the first comprehensive study of how Shakespeare designed his
plays to suit his playing company, Brett Gamboa demonstrates how
Shakespeare turned his limitations to creative advantage, and how
doubling roles suited his unique sense of the dramatic. By
attending closely to their dramaturgical structures, Gamboa
analyses casting requirements for the plays Shakespeare wrote for
the company between 1594 and 1610, and describes how using the
embedded casting patterns can enhance their thematic and theatrical
potential. Drawing on historical records, dramatic theory, and
contemporary performance this innovative work questions received
ideas about early modern staging and provides scholars and
contemporary theatre practitioners with a valuable guide to
understanding how casting can help facilitate audience engagement.
Supported by an appendix of speculative doubling charts for plays,
illustrations, and online resources, this is a major contribution
to the understanding of Shakespeare's dramatic craft.
