The Changeling is Middleton and Rowley's masterpiece. A tale of murder, lust, seduction and blackmail in the seventeenth century.

Alsemero has fallen in love with the beautiful Beatrice after a chance meeting in a church - but Beatrice has already been promised to another man. Unable to marry the man she loves, she employs the hated De Flores, her father's servant, to murder the man her father bids her marry. As payment, De Flores demands Beatrice. And then things get worse...

Edited and introduced by Trevor Griffiths.
