Musoc’s September show, The Threepenny Opera, is here! Get your tickets online now at The Court Theatre!

The Threepenny Opera, by German dramatist Bertold Brecht with music by Kurt Weill, is well known for its bawdy, sharp humour and its songs ‘Mack the Knife’, ‘Pirate Jenny’ and ‘What Keeps Mankind Alive’.

It tells the story of Macheath, the most notorious criminal in Victorian London – after Mack convinces Polly, the daughter of the leader of the beggars of London, to run away and become his wife, her father swears to find Macheath and have him hanged. Complicating this is the fact that the chief of police is Mack’s best friend, but also that Mack can’t keep out of harm’s way: it is the day of the coronation of Queen Victoria, and the public wants nothing more than a good old fashioned public hanging to add to the festivities.

The Threepenny Opera will satisfy all your musical and dramatic needs. With a fantastic cast and production team, it takes us to Victorian London with all its damp, dirty, dark tales – and darker humour.

Directed by Erin Harrington, with Assistant Direction from Sam Creed, The Threepenny Opera is not to be missed.

Music Direction by Cameron Stewart, with Assistant Direction from Daniel Leadbeater
