In a groundbreaking exploration of Shakespeare's theatrical craft, Brett Gamboa delves into the intricate design of his plays to cater to his performing company. Through meticulous analysis of their dramaturgical structures, Gamboa uncovers the creative strategies employed by Shakespeare to overcome limitations and enhance the dramatic impact. By closely examining the casting requirements for the plays written between 1594 and 1610, Gamboa sheds light on the unique theatrical vision of Shakespeare. By employing embedded casting patterns, Gamboa demonstrates how these patterns can amplify the thematic and theatrical significance of the plays.

Supported by an appendix featuring speculative doubling charts, illustrations, and online resources, this significant contribution to Shakespearean studies provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the role of casting in facilitating audience engagement.
