        <description><![CDATA[Bertolt Brecht's 'The Threepenny Opera' play from 1928  tells how Mr Peachum had a daughter who has gone behind his back to marry an extremely unsuitable 'suitor.' This bridegroom turns out to be a vicious city gangster, so notorious that he has earned the nickname 'Mack The Knife.' He is set upon revenge on Macheath who wonders 'should he stay or should he go?'
The play is said to have been based on 'The Beggar's Opera' which opened in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera" was written in 1928.
The timing of the writing of the play is important because of its historical context.
Brecht was writing in Germany between World War I and World War II.  During this time, Germany was experiencing serious social problems.  It had lost WWI and had been forced to pay large sums of money to the winning powers.
These reparations had damaged Germany's economy tremendously and had...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I believe Macheath's biggest flaw is his lack of emotion or regret for how he's lived his life. He shows no reaction when Polly reads the list of charges against him. He's committed murder, forgery, arson, and burglary in an eighteen-month period. His womanizing is just one more of his immoral crimes against society and humanity. It doesn't matter to Macheath if what he is doing is wrong; that's not even a consideration. He doesn't stop to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[MacHeath's Achilles' heel is his sexual appetite.  Juggling his various conquests sometimes is not as successful as he would wish.  When his father-in-law Peachum gets sick of his philadering ways and wants him out of his daughter's life, he turns MacHeath in for his long list of crimes.  Had he curbed his, ummm, enthusiasm, perhaps he would have gotten away with his womanzing longer.]]></description>
