Die Dreigroschenoper: Nach John Gays »The Beggar's Opera« | Bertolt Brecht

2 posts | 10 read | 2 to read

Brecht zielt mit der Dreigroschenoper auf die Entlarvung der korrupten Bourgeoisie. Auf der einen Seite erscheint der Bettlerkönig Peachum als Musterbeispiel des Geschäftemachers, für den Not und Armut nichts anderes sind als Mittel zum Zweck; auf der anderen Seite entpuppt sich der skrupellose Verbrecher Mackie Messer als Prototyp sogenannter bürgerlicher Solidität. Peachum mobilisiert die Bettlermassen, organisiert eine Demonstration des Elends und droht, den Krönungszug zu stören, falls der korrupte Polizeichef Tiger-Brown sich weigern sollte, Mackie Messer zu verhaften, der Peachums Kreise störte.

the threepenny opera | Bertolt Brecht

Ed: â€œI work in a primary school, but I used to do acting when I was younger. In the last couple of years, I've started picking up old plays I used to perform. I just started this one by Brecht. I love reading plays - there's something direct about the character‘s dialogue. I think it's the pace, the speed, actors overlapping each other. It‘s all quite clumsy and fast. I remember performing monologues from it."

Sydsavvy Hurrah, another thespian-play lover! 8y
