Details

The Changeling is set in a world of lords and fools where the line between the two is fine. The beautiful Beatrice, driven by her secret lust, enlists the help of her father's servant. But 'honest' Deflores, ugly as sin, drives a harder bargain than she expected. As it changes from bleak tragedy to black farce, 'The Changeling' tells a tale of sex, lies and animal passions. Mayhem is commonplace. This accessible version of Middleton and Rowley's classic Jacobean drama is suitable for audiences aged 15 and over. An all female cast takes you through the sinister twists and turns of a tragic tale of lust and murder. The subplot of madness and disguise adds humour to the suspense. St Martins' interpretation raises questions about power and gender - is Beatrice victim or villian?
