Cast announced for The Changeling at the Young Vic

Casting has been announced for The Changeling, by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley, which opens at the main house at the Young Vic Theatre 26 Nov 2012, following previews from 20 Nov - running to 15 Dec 2012.

Beautiful Beatrice-Joanna is in love, so she hires the repellent De Flores to kill the man her father wants her to marry. But once the deed is done Beatrice discovers it's not money or jewels that De Flores intends to claim as his reward, but something far more precious. The Changeling is a tale of how love and sex can drive us mad.
