This introductory guide to one of Middleton and Rowley's most widely-studied plays offers a scene-by-scene theatrically aware commentary, a brief history of the text and first performances, case studies of key performances and productions, a survey of film and TV adaptations, and a wide sampling of critical opinion and further reading.

Qty:

The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley is a luridly sensual dramatic work which was highly regarded in its day, but then largely forgotten until its revival three hundred years later. This timely Handbook:
* offers a detailed theatrical commentary which tracks the motivations of the capricious characters and explores performance possibilities
* examines the cultural conditions that gave rise to the play, juxtaposing them with the conditions of the twentieth century
* analyses early performances as well as later stage and film productions
* presents key critical debates and assessments of The Changeling.
