Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) was one of the most prolific and fascinating playwrights of the Jacobean era, producing nearly fifty theatrical pieces in a quarter of a century. This collection comprises five of his most powerful plays, from the comedies satirizing city life, A Trick to Catch the Old One, and A Chaste Maid in Cheapside, to his later tragedies Women Beware Women and The Changeling, in which Middleton reveals a world dominated by the corrupting power of lust and subject to the futility of human pretensions. Also included is The Revenger's Tragedy, originally ascribed to Cyril Tourneur, a Revenge Play infused with sardonic wit and biting irony.

I never read the two comedies, but wallowed in these three tragedies of dark psychology.
The Revenger's Tragedy ridiculously bloody; The Changeling most potent.
Beatrice succumbs to De Flores:
This ominous ill-fac'd fellow more disturbs me
Than all my other passions.
Like a steamy version of Othello where Desdemona does the murder, debauched by Iago. With the subplot in a madhouse.
