The Changeling first performed at Carlton Courthouse in Melbourne, November 2002

changeling title

written by Thomas Middleton & William Rowley


The Changeling is a Jacobean 'tragedy of blood'. Written as the flowering of English culture began to decay, it coolly chronicles the moral changes the central characters undergo as the consequences of their passions - and of the deeds those passions lead them to - are exposed.

A dynamic, chaotic, celebratory, convergence of a theatre production and a rock performance.

Within the context of the plot, characters perform songs made famous by Alice Cooper:

Welcome To My Nightmare
School's Out
Poison
I Never Cry
Department of Youth
Hello Hooray
No More Mr Nice Guy

 
stylistic and performative languages

The Changeling assimilates classical text, a live Alice Cooper cover band, 70s rock choreography, harmonic chant, stylized proxemics and commedia dell’arte into a dynamic whole
