Loads and Loads of Roles: Difference between revisions

 

* This trope taken to the extreme can be found in the theatrical adaptation of the [[Alfred Hitchcock]] ''[[The Thirty-Nine Steps]].'' The show has over 100 roles. There are four actors.

** The lead man plays one role, the lead woman plays four, and the remaining two actors play ''all of the other roles'' between the two of them. [[Hilarity Ensues]], as does much switching of hats, when four or five of these characters are in the same scene. It prides itself in [[Lampshading]] everything about this trope.

* Another impressive example is ''[[The Laramie Project]]'', wherein eight actors play over seventy different roles total.
