Aperitivo - The Beggar's Thruppence

Combining the funniest parts of the 18th century Beggar’s Opera by John Gay with the most telling parts of Brecht’s 20th century version, The Threepenny Opera, Aperitivo Performance Group have now combined the two in a 21st century version that has the best of both worlds.

Aperitivo’s The Beggar’s Thruppence takes full advantage of the humour and lightheartedness of Gay’s script, while adding some of the sharpness and irony of the Brecht version - which uses basically the same characters and story, but with a darker element and the inimitable music of Kurt Weil.

Aperitivo’s play is set in the 1920s era of gangsters and prostitutes, all of whom revolve around the elegant, arrogant and superbly cheeky Mac the Knife. But even this archetypal anti-hero gets his come-uppance – on the scaffold about to be hung with two wives arguing over him, a huddle of lamenting hookers bringing him drinks and his friends and ill-wishers stoically awaiting his end. Ah, but is it the end?
