THE THREEPENNY OPERA

The Threepenny Opera – Bertolt Brecht | Apple Books Description

A bold and provocative masterpiece of modern theatre, The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht reimagines the world of crime, corruption, and morality with biting satire and unforgettable music.

Set in the underbelly of London, the story follows the notorious criminal Macheath—also known as Mack the Knife—as he navigates a world where thieves, beggars, and businessmen are often indistinguishable. When he secretly marries Polly Peachum, the daughter of a powerful beggar king, a chain of betrayal, greed, and darkly comic events is set into motion.
