- The casting of Sancho in Durfey's. The Comical History of Don Quixote, Parts I-II (1694) María José Mora Lengua y Literatura Thomas Durfey Thomas Doggett Cave Underhill casting practices restoration drama Thomas Durfey's The ComicaI History of Don Quixote, Part I andPart II were produced by the United Campany in May/]une,1694. As was customary practice, the central characters weretaken by the same actors in both plays. The signal exception wasthe character of Sancho, which in Part 1 was given to ThomasDoggett, a junior but already popular comedian, and in Part II toold Cave Underhill, who had been acting since the reopening ofthe theatres in 1660. The reasons for this change seem to berelated to the disputes between the managers and actors on thematter of salaries. Textual evidence suggests that, as he waswriting the second part, Dllrfey may not have been certain whowould final1y play Sancho. Meta-theatrical al1usions show that atone point he had Doggett in mind, but eventual1y revised thedialogue to introduce jokes that were specifical1y targeted for theolder comedian. 2015 artículo científico 1135-7789 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=333543052008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3335 SEDERI Yearbook application/pdf Spanish and Portuguese Society for English Renaissance Studies SEDERI Yearbook (España) Num.25
