About The Threepenny Opera

The Threepenny Opera (1928) by Bertolt Brecht (with music by Kurt Weill) is the most performed Brecht play and the most successful theatrical work of the Weimar Republic — the story of Macheath (Mack the Knife), a criminal gang leader in London, his marriage to Polly Peachum, and the anarchic conclusion in which he is saved from hanging by a royal pardon. Based on John Gay's The Beggar's Opera (1728); 'Mack the Knife' became one of the most recorded songs of the twentieth century.
