The Threepenny Opera

The devilish bandit Mack the Knife is in deep trouble when he marries the irresistible Polly Peachum in a ceremony of “doubtful legality.” Mack’s got his old army buddy Tiger Brown, the chief of Police, in his pocket. But Polly’s father Jonathan Peachum, king of the underworld, is determined to have Mack sent to the gallows. In the battle for Polly and the control of their seedy Soho neighborhood, they enlist prostitutes, crooked cops, thieves, a street army of both real and imposter beggars, and, of course, The Queen!
