Set in the Victorian underworld of London just as the Queen?s coronation is about to take place, THREEPENNY is populated with cynical prostitutes, petty thieves, con men and corrupt officials, and revolves around the notorious criminal ?Macheath,? known as ?Mack the Knife.? Written in 1928 as ?an opera for beggars,? THE THREEPENNY OPERA changed the course of opera and musical theatre.
