Threepenny Opera

Another student show! There was some concern about it being under-rehearsed, but the show and the concept with which the group was working left lots of space for rough theatre. (Thank you Peter Brook.) It was the Brecht-Weill version and it was an enjoyable hour. It was ambitious and it succeeded in some ways. They did try to play up a love between Tiger Brown and Macheath; it was successful when it remained subtext. They tried to make it overt and then it fell apart. As usual, the women had stronger voices than the men. Overall, it was a nice time and a show that accommodated their under-rehearsed moments with relative ease.
