By attending closely to their dramaturgical structures, Gamboa analyses casting requirements for all the plays Shakespeare wrote for the company between 1594-1610, 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 be exploited to 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 272-282) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- 'Improbable fictions': Shakespeare's plays without the plays -- Versatility and verisimilitude on sixteenth-century stages -- Doubling in The Winter's Tale -- Dramaturgical directives and Shakespeare's cast size -- Doubling in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet -- 'What, are they children?': Reconsidering Shakespeare's 'boy' actors -- Doubling in Twelfth Night and Othello -- Epilogue: Ragozine and Shakespearean substitution -- Appendix: Doubling roles in Shakespeare's plays. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Stage history. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Dramatic production. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William $d 1564-1616 $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)118613723 650 7 $a BuÌhne $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4146857-0 650 7 $a Inszenierung $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4027223-0 650 7 $a AuffuÌhrung $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4143388-9 650 7 $a Drama $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4012899-4 650 7 $a Schauspieler $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4052154-0 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019015416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CAC6AF6E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
