MORALITY HAS NO HOME. In a world of rapacious thugs and randy whores, we find our anti-hero Macheath - underworld legend, notorious womaniser and thief. Of late, he’s embarked on a cynical and dangerous liaison with Polly Peachum, daughter to the Master Controller of the Underclass. When Peachum and his booze-addled wife seek the smooth criminal’s downfall, revenge isn’t necessarily served cold. Society is morally bankrupt. Compassion is no longer existent. Commercialism is the new religion. You have to kill your neighbour to survive. Theatrical icon Michael Hurst unlocks the biting savagery and tawdry razzle dazzle of this musical theatre masterpiece. Crammed full of sassy hit tunes, including the infamous Mack the Knife, this is Brecht for the 21st Century. Vivid. Wild. Provocative. Hilarious. Human. presented in collaboration with THE LARGE GROUP BOOKINGS ON 09 308 2383 Direction: MICHAEL HURST Featuring: KEITH ADAMS PAUL BARRETT AMANDA BILLING PETER ELLIOTT DELIA HANNAH WAIMIHI HOTERE CHARLIE McDERMOTT CAMERON RHODES ROY SNOW ESTHER STEPHENS ELIZABETH TIERNEY JENNIFER WARD-LEALAND
