Inspired by John Gay\u2019s eighteenth-century Beggar\u2019s Opera, this brutal yet humorous show revolutionized the theater with its satire of bourgeois capitalism and modern morality.\u00a0 Through the love story of Polly Peachum and Macheath (better known as \u201cMac the Knife\u201d), The Threepenny Opera portrays a society at the height of decadence and on the verge of chaos.\u00a0 With its unexpected plot twists, hummable tunes, and improbable happy ending, Brecht and Weill\u2019s masterpiece has been translated into eighteen languages and staged in countless productions all over the world.<\/p>\n
English adaptation by Marc Blitzstein, directed by Tony-nominated Eleanor Reissa, with musical direction by Dianne Adams McDowell.\u00a0 Presented through special arrangement with R&H Theatricals by Colgate University Theater.<\/p>\n
