The Changeling, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse: Hattie Morahan stars in Jacobean tragedy
Thomas Middleton and William Rowley's The Changeling is as much a pitch-black comedy as a tragedy, the grisly plot of murder, adultery and deceit shot through with comic business. Dominic Dromgoole's production, nicely staged in traditional fashion at this candle-lit Jacobean-style playhouse, skillfully manages this tonal changeling - although I left without feeling any deep chills.
