Synopsis
The Threepenny Opera is one of the greatest musical comedies of the Twentieth Century. Bertolt Brecht’s cutting, sexy, and political imagining of “Mack the Knife” and his underworld cohorts is intoxicatingly complemented by Kurt Weill’s edgy, jazzy, and sublime musical score. (soulppepper.ca)
