SYNOPSIS
This Student Edition of Brecht''s satire on the capitalist society of the Weimar Republic features an extensive
introduction and commentary that includes a plot summary, discussion of
the context, themes, characters, style and language as well as
questions for further study and notes on words and phrases in the text.
It is the perfect edition for students of theatre and literature.
Based on John Gay''s eighteenth century Beggar''s Opera, The Threepenny Opera,
first staged in 1928 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin, is a
vicious satire on the bourgeois capitalist society of the Weimar
Republic, but set in a mock-Victorian Soho. It focuses on the feud between Macheaf - an amoral criminal - and his father in law, a racketeer who controls and exploits London''s beggars and is intent on having Macheaf hanged. Despite the resistance by Macheaf''s friend the Chief of Police, Macheaf is eventually condemned to hang, until in a comic reversal the queen pardons him and grants him a title and land. With Kurt Weill''s
unforgettable music - one of the earliest and most successful attempts
to introduce jazz to the theatre - it became a popular hit throughout
the western world.
The text is presented in the trusted translation by Ralph Manheim and John Willett.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bertolt Brecht
Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956)
Dramaturgo, poeta, romancista e ensaísta , nasceu em Augsburg, Alemanha, a 10 de fevereiro de 1898.
Em 1917 iniciou o curso de medicina em Munique, mas logo foi convocado pelo exército, indo trabalhar como enfermeiro num hospital militar. Aquele que se iria tornar uma das mais importantes figuras do teatro do século XX, cedo começou a escrever os seus primeiros poemas e cedo se rebelou contra os "falsos padrões" da arte e da vida burguesa, corroídas pela Primeira Guerra. Tal atitude reflete-se já na sua primeira peça, o drama expressionista "Baal", de 1918. Colabora com os diretores Max Reinhardt e Erwin Piscator. Em 1928, faz com Kurt Weill a "Ópera de Três Vinténs". Com a ascensão de Hitler, deixa o país em 1933, e exila-se em países como a Dinamarca e Estados Unidos da América, onde sobrevive à custa de trabalhos para Hollywood. Faz da crítica ao nazismo e à guerra tema de obras como "Mãe coragem e seus filhos" (1939). Dos Estados Unidos, vítima do macartismo, parte em 1947 para a Suíça onde redige o "Pequeno Organon", suma de sua teoria teatral. Volta à Alemanha em 1948, onde funda, no ano seguinte, em Berlim Leste, a companhia Berliner Ensemble.
Bertolt Brecht destacou-se também na poesia, de forte conteúdo social.
Morreu em Berlim, a 14 de agosto 1956.
