Synopsis

A reworking of the classic revenge tragedy "The Changeling" by Middleton and Rawley, this script explores the bloody, twisted themes of the genre in an updated and pop culture riddled vernacular. Beautiful and spoiled heiress Veronica languishes on a ranch run by her overbearing mother, Sabina. When a hideously scarred drifter arrives looking for work both mother and daughter attempt to use him to their own selfish ends, resulting in tragedy for everyone. I refer to his play as a Gothic Noir Domestic Melodrama.
