The 1623 First Folio is famously the first collected edition of Shakespeare\u2019s plays, and the earliest printed source we have for a number of his dramatic works. Less well-known is the fact that the 1623 text also preserves one of the most comprehensive lists of the actors who originally performed in his plays.<\/p>

The First Folio\u2019s list of \u2018the Principall Actors in all these Playes\u2019 names twenty-six men and boys. This includes Shakespeare, whose name appears first, in pride of place, as well as John Heminges (1566-1630) and Henry Condell (fl.<\/i>\u00a01598-1627)\u2014the company fellows who oversaw the publication of the First Folio\u2014William Kemp (fl.<\/i>\u00a01585-1602), the company\u2019s first clown, famous for his jigs and improvisation and the originator of comic roles such as Dogberry (Much Ado About Nothing<\/i>) and Bottom (Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream<\/i>), and Kemp\u2019s replacement as company fool, Robert Armin (c<\/i>.1567-1615), for whom Shakespeare wrote roles such as Feste (Twelfth Night<\/i>) and the Fool in\u00a0King Lear<\/i>.<\/p>

The list of actors also includes early company members from the days of the Lord Chamberlain\u2019s Men (1594-1603), such as Augustine Phillips (fl.<\/i>\u00a01590-1605), Thomas Pope (fl.<\/i>\u00a01586-1603), George Bryan (fl.<\/i>\u00a01586-96), William Sly (fl.<\/i>\u00a01590-1608), and Richard Cowley (fl.<\/i>\u00a01593-1619), as well as later adult members of the King\u2019s Men such as Nathan Field (1587-1620), Joseph Taylor (1586?-1652), Robert Benfield (c.<\/i>\u00a01583-1649), John Lowin (1576-1653), William Ostler (c.<\/i>\u00a01588-1614) and John Shank (c.<\/i>\u00a01570-1636). Others named in the list are known to have joined the Shakespeare company as boy apprentices, including Alexander Cooke (c.<\/i>\u00a01583\/4-1614), Nicholas Tooley (fl.<\/i>\u00a01603-23), John Rice (1590?-1630>) and Richard Robinson (c.<\/i>\u00a01596-1648).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Little is known about some of the individuals named as actors in the First Folio\u2014such as Samuel Crosse\u2014but others are better documented; none more so than the man whose name appears immediately after Shakespeare\u2019s and to whom Shakespeare left money to buy a mourning ring in his will, along with Heminges and Condell\u2014Richard Burbage (1568-1619).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Famed as a \u2018delightful Proteus\u2019 who \u2018wholly\u2019 transformed \u2018himself\u2019 into the parts he played, Richard Burbage was not only a leading sharer in Shakespeare\u2019s acting company and one of England\u2019s first theatre entrepreneurs, as joint owner of the Globe and the Blackfriars theatres, he was also one of England\u2019s first \u2018star\u2019 actors.\u00a0 \u00a0Key to this fame were the Shakespearean tragic roles he played with the Lord Chamberlain\u2019s (later the King\u2019s) company from 1594 until his death in 1619, starting with his first signature role as Shakespeare\u2019s charismatic and wickedly witty anti-hero, Richard III.<\/p>

Burbage may not have been Shakespeare\u2019s first Richard III, but he made the role his own, multiple contemporary allusions identifying him with the \u2018crookback\u2019 king and pointing to the impact of his performance in the part on audiences of the day. These allusions include John Manningham\u2019s bawdy 1602 anecdote about a play-going woman who is reported to have arranged a secret night-time assignation with Burbage after seeing him as Richard III, and a joke in a poem by Richard Corbet about an inn host who inadvertently conflated Burbage and Richard during an account of the Battle of Bosworth, \u2018For when he would have said, King Richard<\/i> dy\u2019d \/ And call\u2019d a Horse, a Horse, he Burbage<\/i> cry\u2019d\u2019.\u00a0 \u00a0As Alexander Leggatt observes, this anecdote highlights how \u2018for his generation\u2019 Burbage did not simply act Richard, he \u2018was<\/i> Richard III\u2019.<\/p>

Shakespeare\u2019s play about Richard\u2019s downfall is conventionally defined as a history play but its protagonist has long been recognised as one of Shakespeare\u2019s first experiments with a complex tragic hero and a character who is a virtuoso actor, playing several roles in one. It is perhaps no coincidence that the other roles for which Burbage was to become most famous are some of Shakespeare\u2019s later, multifaceted tragic heroes, namely, Hamlet, Othello and King Lear\u2014roles which Shakespeare created for Burbage and which may have been partly inspired by Burbage\u2019s Protean versatility and talent for convincing impersonation.<\/p>

As contemporary accounts make clear, Burbage was specially admired for his life-like performance and his ability to convey a range of emotions\u2014and sudden changes of feeling\u2014visibly and convincingly in his words, actions and looks. Thus, Thomas Bancroft perhaps thinking of roles such as Romeo, recalls Burbage as a performer who:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u2026 when his part
\nHe acted, sent each passion to his heart;
\nWould languish in a scene of love; then look
\nPallid for fear, but when revenge he took,
\nRecall his bloud; when enemies were nigh,
\nGrow big with wrath, and make his buttons fly.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In similar fashion, Restoration commentator Richard Flecknoe not only praised Burbage as \u2018an excellent Orator\u2019 who animated \u2018his words with speaking, and Speech with action\u2019, but celebrated him for his expressive silences and his ability to \u2018paint\u2019 emotions with his looks, observing that he never fell \u2018in his Part\u2019 even \u2018when he had done speaking; but with his looks and gesture\u2019 maintained \u2018it still unto the heighth\u2019.<\/p>

Contemporary playwright, John Fletcher, likewise, alludes to Burbage\u2019s expressive looks and his compelling portrayal of powerful emotions, in his 1619 elegy for the actor. Implicitly recalling the graveyard scene from Hamlet<\/i>, Fletcher describes how<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\toft haue I seene him leape into a graue
\nsuiting the person wch he seemd to haue
\nof a sad lover, wth soe true an eye
\nthat there (I would haue sworne) he ment to die.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Simon Forman\u2019s rare eyewitness report of a performance of Macbeth <\/i>at the Globe Theatre in 1610 implicitly offer further evidence of Burbage\u2019s talent for portraying the emotions of Shakespeare\u2019s tragic protagonists vividly. Although Burbage is not explicitly named as Macbeth\u2019s performer, the contextual evidence suggests that the part was first performed by him. Just as Fletcher draws attention to Burbage\u2019s skill in playing the part of an ardent lover, so Forman\u2019s account echoes Bancroft\u2019s in testifying to Burbage\u2019s ability to embody fear and anger, describing how, during the banquet scene the spectacle of Banquo\u2019s ghost appearing to Macbeth \u2018fronted him so, that he fell into a great passion of fear and fury\u2019.<\/p>

Contemporary reports, likewise, point to Burbage\u2019s talent for convincing death scenes\u2014a key and culminating moment in his portrayal of each of Shakespeare\u2019s tragic heroes. In Fletcher\u2019s elegy, for example, his allusion to Hamlet<\/i>\u2019s graveyard scene is followed by praise for Burbage\u2019s vivid impersonation of dying and its powerful impact on audiences:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tOft haue I sene him play his part in iest
\nsoe liuely, that spectators & the rest
\nof his sad crew, whilst he but seem\u2019d to bleed
\namazed, thought, he then had died indeed (f. 62v).\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Such was contemporaries\u2019 admiration for Burbage\u2019s acting, especially in Shakespeare\u2019s plays, that his death in 1619 was more volubly mourned than that of Shakespeare himself three years earlier, prompting multiple poetic tributes celebrating the actor\u2019s artistic talent.<\/p>

In the Romantic era and since Shakespeare\u2019s admirers have often emphasised the playwright\u2019s status as a lone, original genius, but more recent research on the early modern theatre world has made clear the extent to which the Shakespearean stage was a collaborative one in which various factors shaped the plays created by playwrights such as Shakespeare, including the acting companies and actors for whom they wrote.<\/p>

In the case of Shakespeare and Burbage, the collaboration of writer and actor appears to have been an especially rich one, their mutual talents serving to inspire each other to a greatness and gift for complex, life-like characterisation not known before on the English stage the fruits of which we still get to enjoy, thanks to the preservation of Shakespeare\u2019s plays, and Burbage\u2019s roles within them, in the early quarto editions and the First Folio.<\/p>
