| Description |
Imagine a diverse group of buskers, gypsies and assorted riffraff gathering to put on a tatty show based around John Gay's 18th-century work, 'The Beggar's Opera', and using a battered copy of his original script. For music, Gay simply used popular tunes of his time. This is exactly what this group does. |
