Based on John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, THE THREEPENNY OPERA follows the charismatic scoundrel Macheath (Park) and his criminal exploits in 19th century London. When Macheath marries Polly Peachum (Osnes), the straight-laced daughter of powerful, miserly merchant JJ.

In this "opera for beggars," an assortment of salacious characters maneuver for advantage, revealing a profoundly corrupt society.
