The Maids Tragedy
by Francis Beaumont & John Fletcher
Written by Francis Beaumont & John Fletcher, this tragic drama The Maids Tragedy acclaimed critical responses.
When gentleman soldier Melantius returns to Rhodes, he finds his dear friend Amintor is recently married - but not to his troth-plight love Aspatia (the maid of the title). Instead, the King has arranged a match between Amintor and Melantius' sister, the beautiful Evadne. On his wedding night, Amintor finds that his new wife has married him under false pretenses - and this unleashes a torrent of dire consequences, sexual, emotional, and ultimately political.
