A new version of The Beggar’s Opera set in an edgy, contemporary world.
Set in 1728 The Beggar’s Opera was one of the most influential and important pieces ever written and the precursor of Brecht’s A Threepenny Opera. Youth Music Theatre have updated the story into modern language. Set in a contemporary world to new songs and street/hip-hop dance, this comic, dark, witty and sharp show will include over 40 actors and musicians.
