5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, 18 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Changeling (New Mermaids) (Paperback)

i love this play. I study it for a-level drama and just think so well constructed. The way that the main and sub-plot are stuebtle it superb done. It's sad though that play like this are forgotten in the shadow of Shakespeare and just wish that more schools taught this text as it's excellent

4.0 out of 5 stars An Edition To Be Treasured, 31 Aug 2009

By	J A Sutherland (Winchester, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Changeling (New Mermaids) (Paperback)

Michael Neill's new edition of Middleton and Rowley's 'The Changeling' is a book that accompanies such a brilliant piece of Renaissance drama with the notes, criticism, introduction and analysis that it deserves. On every page of the play, footnotes provide glosses, explanations and references to Middleton and Rowley's writings. The story will still resonate with a modern audience, and, as a fellow reviewer has written, it is a shame that Shakespeare's work often overshadows this, when really it should be read it conjunction with it; the story echoes that of Macbeth, Othello and A Midsummer Night's Dream, as Neill reveals. If you are looking to read 'The Changeling', this is the edition to start with.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, 24 Aug 2009

By	M. Dowden (London, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Changeling (New Mermaids) (Paperback)

This play by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley - who collaborted on a lot of different plays it is believed with quite a lot of playwrights is one for those who are into Jacobean tragedies. The play itself has as well as the main plot which is the tragedy, a sub-plot that is comical.

The sub-plot is about a man not trusting his young wife and having her installed in the madhouse where he works. The main plot is about Beatrice who doesn't want to marry the man her father has chosen for her. Inded Beatrice is hersef a femme fatale. Beatrice lusts afer another man and using a man who is obsessed with her she has the man her marriage is arranged with murdered - thus setting his brother on a course of revenge.

A story of madness, lust and sexual passion which comes across in the script there is also a psychological depth here that is unusual for the time. if you like something with murder, revenge, blackmail, suicide and passion you really should read this.
