Doubling

Doubling
   It was common practice for utility and even supporting actors to play two or more roles in the same play, especially in touring companies. Stars occasionally doubled roles as a tour de force, as when Mary Anderson became the first actress ever to play both Hermione and Perdita in The Winter's Tale.
