      abstract = {"Brutal, scandalous, perverted, yet humorous, hummable,  and with a happy ending- Bertolt Brecht's revolutionary  masterpiece The Threepenny Opera is a landmark of modern  drama that has become embedded in the Western cultural  imagination. Through the love story of Polly Peachum and  "Mack the Knife" Macheath, the play satirizes the bourgeois  of the Weimar Republic, revealing a society at the height  of decadence and on the verge of chaos. Complemented with  music by Kurt Weill, it was one of the earliest and most  successful attempts to introduce jazz into the theater, and  the song "Mack the Knife" became one of the most popular  and widely recorded songs of the twentieth century." --  Book cover.},
