A SECOND YEAR PRODUCTION
22 - 26 September 2009 | Parade Theatre
Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht | trans. Michael Feingold
Director: Peter Kleinert | Musical Director: Thomas Beyer
The Threepenny Opera is Brecht’s most popular and successful play. It is over 90 years old but nevertheless still contemporary.
Brecht’s play is a satiric parable of the capitalist system. It asks the question, „How can someone who merely robs a bank compete with someone who founds a bank?“
At the centre of the story is the relationship between money, power and morality: „First comes the feeding then the moral code.“ Brecht paints with wit and keen observation a cynical world of selfishness, power politics and hardship, corruption and disingenuousness.
Beyond Mack the Knife, Kurt Weill’s music holds many more surprises in this opera for actors with its catchy and complex music.
Running time 2 hours 30 minutes including one 20 minute interval.
