The much-lauded Changeling Theatre
brings this rarely performed tale of love

are brought up together as the son and
ward of a countess. As Helen pursues
her unrequited love of Bert, the plot

difference in class. Does Helen get her
man? Does Bert shun class boundaries
and familiarity for the sake of true love?
Come and find out!
