'With its entirely new sense of Shakespeare's combined poetic and practical craft, this bold and elegant book has far-reaching consequences for the worlds of performance, editing and interpretation.' Tiffany Stern, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham 'Brett Gamboa's book represents a highly original contribution to the study of Shakespeare's working practices which challenges orthodox views on the casting of his plays in early performance. The work of a scholar who is also a practitioner, it demands to be considered by anyone with an interest in Shakespeare's dramatic craftsmanship.' Sir Stanley Wells, CBE, FRSL, Honorary President, The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust 'Brett Gamboa's Shakespeare's Double Plays investigates this now-taken-for-granted aspect of Shakespearean dramaturgy with fresh eyes.' Colin S. MacDonald, The Times Literary Supplement 'Shakespeare's Double Plays is essential reading for scholars and students of theater history and early modern performance ... Gamboa has written an important book for theater historians, students of theater, actors, and directors.' Farah Karim-Cooper, Renaissance Quarterly
