Book and Lyrics by Bertolt Brecht, Music by Kurt Weill

Directed and Staged by Mark Hardy, Musical Direction and Supervision by Gregory J. Dlugos

This savage, darkly comic classic profiles the 20th century’s most outrageous bad boy, Mack the Knife, in a satirical exposé of bourgeois culture and the poverty and crime that it feeds. With a score that feels at once raw and refined and a book that remains daring, The Threepenny Opera resonates in surprisingly contemporary ways.
