This is a 6 page paper describing the opportunities available for the doubling of parts in the William Shakespeare’s “The Two Noble Kinsmen” and “King Henry VIII”. The Shakespearean plays “The Two Noble Kinsmen” and “King Henry VIII” both provide ample opportunities for actors to assume multiple roles. In a relatively small and often touring company of a dozen or so players, the plays both call for up to thirty different parts. While men are mostly distinguished by their beards and women (portrayed by men) are distinguished by their slight builds, smooth faces and dresses, the plays both call for additional demands on dual roles. Luckily, in “The Two Noble Kinsmen” many of the characters introduced in the first scene are robed and veiled allowing for an easy transition back stage into other characters. In “King Henry VIII” many more male characters are needed in addition to the regular group of attendants and guards. Shakespeare provides the audience with detailed descriptions of the lords and dukes’ distinct cloaks or jackets which allow the actors to only place on one garment to assume a particular role. Skilful planning must take place and while many characters enter and exit, both plays only largely require a maximum of a dozen players on the stage at any one time.
