Critic Reviews

Joe Leydon

As a stripped-to-essentials "canned theater" version of a classic Jacobean drama, The Changeling likely will prove most useful as a teaching tool in college-level drama courses. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Overall, it's an interesting experiment, but the idea is stronger than the end result. Read full review

Much like watching a straightforward theatrical production of any play hailing from any century: you have to imagine a more detailed world beyond the bare-bones visuals. Read full review
