One of Bertolt Brecht's best-loved and most performed plays, The
Threepenny Opera was first staged in 1928 at the Theater am
Schiffbauerdamm, Berlin (now the home of the Berliner Ensemble).
Based on the eighteenth-century The Beggar's Opera by John Gay, the
play is a satire on the bourgeois society of the Weimar Republic,
but set in a mock-Victorian Soho. With Kurt Weill's music, which
was one of the earliest and most successful attempts to introduce
the jazz idiom into the theatre, it became a popular hit throughout
the western world. This new edition is published here in John
Willett and Ralph Manhein's classic translation with commentary and
notes by Anja Hartl.
