A play that offers an unusually cynical assessment of the social and familial displacements, and the alienation and loss of cultural memory so characteristic of life in the great metropolis of early modern London.
This text is part of the New Mermaid series of modern spelling, fully-annotated editions of English plays. Each volume includes a critical introduction, biography of the author, discussions of dates and sources, textual details, a bibliography and information about the staging of the play.
"Women Beware Women" is a major tragedy of the period, anatomising lust, hypocrisy and moral blindness. It is a play of people corrupted by greed for sex, wealth and position.
A delightfully lewd city comedy by the co-author of The Changeling.
A black comedy about a question that haunts us today - what to do about an ageing population.
A changeling is a fickle person, a waverer, a person posing as another person, or an idiot. Featuring two plots, this title portrays them all.
The Changeling is a powerful psychological tragedy of the moral degeneration of a highborn Spanish girl through a crime prompted by obsessive love. Thomas Middleton was probably responsible for the tragic plot, and William Rowley for the comic subplot concerning the antics of a young rake who contrives to have himself committed to an insane asylum for love of the proprietor''s handsome wife.
Thomas Middleton was one of the most prolific playwrights of the Jacobean era. This collection comprises five of his powerful plays, from the comedies satirizing city life, "A Trick to Catch the Old One", and "A Chaste Maid in Cheapside", to his later tragedies "Women Beware Women" and "The Changeling". Also included is "The Revenger's Tragedy".
