John Sinklo (also Sinclo, Sincklo, Sincler, Sinkler, Sinclair) was an English Renaissance theatre actor, known to be active between 1592-1604. He was a member of several playing companies, including Lord Strange's Men, Pembroke's Men, Lord Chamberlain's Men and the King's Men. It is likely that Sinklo also performed with Sussex's Men, following the text of ''Titus Andronicus'' which Sussex's inherited from Pembroke's.〔"〕 Sinklo is identified by name in three plays by Shakespeare (an honour he shares with William Kemp). He therefore provides a strong example of Shakespeare's familiarity with the abilities and peculiarities of the cast for whom he was writing. In Sinklo’s case, it was his lean, emaciated appearance which singled him out for attention. Stanley Wells argues that he 'must have been an amiable, long-suffering man, well accustomed to tolerating jokes about his appearance'.〔"〕 ==Shakespeare's references== Sinklo is named in the following Shakespeare texts: *The Induction to ''The Taming of the Shrew'', one of the players who tricks Christopher Sly is headed 'Sincklo' in the First Folio. *The opening of Act 3 of ''Henry VI, Part 3'' in a stage direction: ‘''Enter Sinklo, and Humfrey, with Crosse-bowes in their hands''’ *The 1600 quarto of ''Henry IV, Part 2'' (5.4), in the stage direction: ‘''Enter Sincklo and three or foure officers''’. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Sinklo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
