First performed in Berlin in 1928, this revolutionary piece of musical theatre was adapted from English dramatist John Gay's 18th century piece, The Beggar's Opera. This dark satire of 'respectable' society was initially designed to awaken the minds of theatergoers and rouse them into political awareness and action. When Jonathan Peachum's daughter, Polly, marries the town's notorious criminal, Mack the Knife, Peachum resolves to have Mack imprisoned once and for all -- a task that is enormously complicated by Mack's longstanding friendship with the town's local sheriff. In their attempt to trap Mack, Peachum and his wife develop a series of seedy, faulty strategies that ultimately rely on an abundance of betrayals. The tale, reliant on love triangles, crime, and the duties of friendship, suggests that every character would sell out another were an advantage certain to be gained.
