Evelyn Tribble, in her article "Marlowe's boy actors", identifies a significant pattern in the cues by adult actors preceding speeches of Marlowe's boy actors. These cues are usually repeated, or contain embedded instruction on the role's subordinate social positions. This pattern is seemingly designed specifically to train young actors.

I think the exchange between "Luce" and "Ephesian Dromio" in Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors is perhaps also an extraordinary example of such a pattern recognized by Tribble.
