Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price
John Gay's bawdy and burlesque pastiche of classical Italian opera,
often regarded as the world's first ever musical. Peachum the
thief-catcher is horrified when he discovers his beloved daughter
Polly has married Macheath the highwayman; he and his wife plot
Macheath's death in the knowledge that they would be entitled to
their daughter's inheritance once he was out of the way. But Lockit
the prison warden is also after the highwayman's treasures, and
daughter Lucy his crown jewels... The Beggar's Opera was premiered
at the Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre, London, in January 1728. This
edition of The Beggar's Opera is edited and introduced by Colin
Counsell
