The plums are ripe and the radio reports a record year for rope at Threadsville Mills, but inside the crumbling Cragg house, Goat has been wearing the same clothes for 23 years and her husband, Freshface, is out of luck. One day, a man claiming to be the couple's long-disappeared child, now all grown up, appears at the front door.

The Changelings Reviews
Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Somewhat Recommended
"...Obolensky has been Ten Thousand Things' playwright in residence for a handful of years now, and while the artistic partnership has produced some intriguing results, it's becoming clear that the relationship could benefit from a dramaturge in residence; someone to bring new perspective, needed context and an editor's eye to the process. "The Changelings" might well be an incisive, thought-provoking 90-minute play. Right now, though, it's locked inside a torpid two-plus-hour script."

Talkin Broadway - Recommended
"...To be fair, I can imagine some audience members may find the make believe elements of the play off-putting, the premise perhaps a bit twee. Those who prefer drama grounded in firm reality may not find The Changelings to their liking. Those who enjoy blurred boundaries between reality and fantasy, between grounded truth and permeable possibilities, and who can take pleasure in great storytelling enacted by a troupe of actors showering the work with their talent and their love will find, as I did, The Changelings to be a remarkably rewarding and uplifting work of theater."
