Description Brecht and Weill's classic Threepenny Opera is brought to startling new life in this new production by John Senczuk. The plangent melodies and sardonic humour of the original are recreated in a modern setting which gives new significance to the tale of the glamorous conman Macheath and his betrayal to a corrupt Establishment.
