After reading David Bevington's very helpful, 'Staging the
Reformation: Power and Theatricality in the plays of William Wager' in
_Interludes and Early Modern Society_, I worked out a doubling scheme
for _The Virtuous and Godly Susanna_ according to its title page,
advertising that 'Eyght persons may easyly play it.', and it works
well. Here's a question for the list: Are there any interludes that
don't live up to their title page 'billing'? ie doubling schemes that
don't work with the ' ___ persons may easyly play it' ? Just curious.
