The Threepenny Opera
Tring Theatre Company
21st October to 24th October 2026
TICKETS: From £12.00
The Threepenny Opera is a darkly comic, razor-edged musical that drags you through the alleys of London, where beggars, thieves, and corrupt officials all hustle for survival. At its centre is the infamous Mack the Knife, a charming criminal whose marriage to Polly Peachum sparks a clash between the city’s underworld and its so-called respectable elite.
With Kurt Weill’s smoky, cabaret-infused score and Brecht’s biting satire, the show exposes a world where morality is flexible, justice is for sale, and everyone - rich or poor - is on the make.
Author: Music by Kurt Weill
Lyrics by Berthold Brecht in collaboration with Elisabeth Hauptmann.
