The book's Conclusion turns to a context which is seemingly unrelated to early modern drama: twenty-first-century professional football. It suggests that present-day culture's pervasive fascination with the skilled, youthful bodies of professional football players finds a corollary in early modern playwrights' and spectators' demonstrable interest in the physical skills of the boy actors who have been the subject of this book. The Conclusion recapitulates the book's central argument for the valuable physical skills boy actors developed and showcased, suggesting that an enhanced appreciation of those skills will allow us more readily to imagine their important contribution to early modern theatrical culture.
