The 'Threepenny Opera,' created by renowned playwright Bertolt Brecht, is set to be performed in Taiwan by the original Berliner Ensemble. Nearly a century after its debut, the play's critique of unchecked capitalism remains highly relevant. Director Barrie Kosky brings a bold, dark-humored style to this classic, using a massive scaffolding stage to represent a social machine from which characters cannot escape. The production will run from May 29 to 31 at the Taipei Performing Arts Center.
