Volume 34, Number 1 Kurt Weill Newsletter 3 FEATURES The Threepenny Opera returns to its London roots on 26 May 2016, when a new English adaptation officially opens at the National Theatre. The team of Rufus Norris (stage director), David Shrubsole (music director), and Simon Stephens (adaptor) presides over the new production in the Olivier Theatre. The National has not taken up Threepenny since 1986, when the creative team consisted of Peter Wood (director), Dominic Muldowney (music director), and Robert David MacDonald (trans- lator); Tim Curry played Macheath. This year, some of London’s leading actors take principal roles: Rory Kinnear (Macheath), Rosalie Craig (Polly), Nick Holder (Mr. Peachum), Haydn Gwynne (Mrs. Peachum), and Sharon Small (Jenny); Vicki Mortimer designs the sets and Imogen Knight choreographs. The creative team promises “filthy language and immoral behaviour,” but that is only the half of it. The production offers an incisive, brand-new English rendering of dialogue and lyrics, a reimagining of the characters of this classic of musical theater, Weill’s original scoring performed by seven band members (just as in the 1928 world premiere), and a head-turning new staging masterminded by a committed group of seasoned professionals. A total of 82 performances are scheduled through October. Brace yourself, London, for .

Rufus Norris, Artistic phens noted that it’s not a free-for-all. “I remain pretty loyal to Director of the National Theatre, and Simon Stephens, Olivier Brecht and Weill in terms of narrative, character, action, location. Award-winning dramatist, never wavered in their determination I’ve not changed the story. I’ve not added characters or taken to rework the text of The Threepenny Opera and make it more co- characters away.” As Norris put it, “We’re trying to muscle it up herent onstage. Their efforts have yielded an entirely new book a bit so that people aren’t just waiting for the next song to come and lyrics that compel us to see the characters through new eyes, along, and they actually care about the story.” rethink certain moments in the plot, and weigh Brecht’s theories of politics and drama and how they might be useful (or other- wise) in the context of a new production.

  • BBC ONE Spring/Summer 2002 5 Drama
    Drama of Tony Blair, IT and gangsta rap can be strange DRAMA and comfortless, leaving these working-class heroes happy to try their luck at one more job. They cemented their friendships in Germany and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet Spain, and this new series takes the “cowboy” builders on an incredible journey from Middlesbrough to Arizona. “The timing seems absolutely right for the return of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet,” says Controller of Drama Commissioning, Jane Tranter. “The fact that all the original team have embraced it so enthusiastically demonstrates the power that the show still has to excite people. It’s moved on, in spirit and in time, and the maturity of the characters has brought a new edge and humour to the storytelling.” A BBC production for BBC ONE, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is produced by Joy Spink and directed by Paul Seed. The executive producers are Laura Mackie and Franc Roddam. Being April Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, the hit drama of the Eighties, which followed the fortunes of an intrepid band of British brickies, returns to BBC ONE this spring. The production reunites the original cast of Jimmy Nail (Oz), Timothy Spall (Barry), Kevin Whately (Neville), Tim Healy (Dennis), Pat Roach (Bomber), Christopher Fairbank (Moxey) and newcomer Noel Clarke (Wyman), with original writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais and creator Franc Roddam. The last 15 years have been kinder to some of the lads than others. One drives a Bentley, another a taxi. Marriages have come and gone. But when Oz turns up with an irresistible offer, the “Magnificent Seven” find that the friendships they made on the road to Düsseldorf Three kids.

Claptrap Carter, the director of the university, is a pompous fool. Who better to be the victim of a crime that can never be unravelled? But as Paul and his friend Gary stage a break-in into Claptrap's mansion, they don't realize that it is Detective Inspector Percy Peach who will be questioning them the following day. And however clever the intellectuals of the university may consider themselves to be, they could never have anticipated a detective so clever with words, so good at reading minds - and, for that matter, so well read.
