	Untitled Document
		Robert Armin replacing William Kemp as "Shakespeare's fool" is an example of this evolution.
		Armin became a counter-point to the themes of the play and the power relationships between the theatre and the role of the fool--he manipulates the extra dimension between play and reality to interact with the audience all the while using the themes of the play as his source material.
		Armin's fools cause the audience to reflect on what it is to be a part of the human condition; but, in a way that also establishes his characters as perpetual outsiders who reflect on but do not become a part of the dance of reconciliation at the end of the play.

	[EMLS 9.3 / SI 12 (January, 2004): 10.1-5] Review of The Actor as Playwright
		The first player in the spotlight is the celebrity clown Robert Armin, who 'turned collaborative theatrical work into a printed commodity' through his alter-ego author, Snuff the Clown of the Curtain playhouse (Clonnico de Curtanio Snuffe).
		However, Johnson's reason for selecting Armin as a way into discussing the transition from team-based production to single printed work is that he transformed a multitude of apparently disparate voices into his own individual discourse.
		She quotes from a number of Armin's 'jest books' to show that the comedian encouraged his audiences to hurl questions and ideas at him, and that his comic responses were based on those suggestions.

		Robert Armin's Two Maids of Moreclack was printed from possibly incomplete foul papers that indicate revisions made over a period of years.
		[4] Armin, experienced as an actor, was hardly so as a playwright, and did not have any other known connection with the King's Revels; his epistle in the quarto suggests that he had not written Two Maids for them.
		Its most recent editor, Robert J. Lordi, thinks that Chapman reworked it as a reading text for the 1613 quarto (Chapman 424-25); it calls for offstage sound effects that seem not very feasible for an indoor theatre in a closely built-up neighborhood.

	King Lear
		It is thought that Richard Burbage (c.1567-1619), “the greatest actor of his age”, a shareholder in Shakespeare’s company, played the title role and that Robert Armin (1568-1615) played the Fool.
		However, the critic William Ringler attributes the role of Edgar to Armin, arguing that the character takes on a range of disguises and would therefore best demonstrate Armin’s skills, since Armin was renowned for his versatility.
		Robert Stephens’ Lear was hotly anticipated and widely acclaimed, particularly for his moving performance in the latter half of the play: ‘this Lear is too frail to carry his daughter’s body unaided, and his broken howls and whimpers as he surveys her lifeless body bring the audience to the very heart of grief and loss.

		However, this was not an absolute condition, and so both Robert Lloyd as Gurnemanz and Aage Haugland as Klingsor both sing and act their parts.
