Notă biografică

Thomas Middleton (1570-1627) was an English dramatist, who excelled in both comedy and tragedy. Whilst his so-called 'city comedies' provide insight into 17th-century London life and manners, his tragedies are noted for their richly poetic verse, their emphasis on guilt and corruption, and their understanding of feminine psychology. He often worked in collaboration with other dramatists for the theatre owner Philip Henslowe, including Thomas Dekker and William Rowley. Middleton's works include A Trick to Catch the Old One (1604-05), A Chaste Maid in Cheapside (1619), the tragedy Women Beware Women (1621) and the political satire A Game of Chess (1624).

Recenzii

Thomas Middleton's Jacobean drama spreads like a web around the the black- widow figure of Livia... it is clear that Livia's deviousness is a profoundly cynical response to the hipocrisy of a society in which women are powerless and men do as they please.'
'Thomas Middleton's 17th- century study of self- survival and the destruction of innocence'
'A sardonic masterwork that admits one to the world of fuliginous cruelty.'
'Dark, decadent and immensely stylish, Women Beware Women makes you laugh even as you shiver.'
'A fiercely felt, finely wrought, seldom-seen play by one of Shakespeare's contemporaries.'
