about

Based on the seminal 18th century Beggar’s Opera by John Gay and Brecht and Weill’s Threepenny Opera, the band present their own version of this wildly entertaining story. A huge inspiration to Martyn Jacques, The Tiger Lillies founder, the story is presented as a song cycle swarming with highwaymen, thieves, jailors, pimps and prostitutes – a world of greed, crime, poverty, inequality and outrageous comedy, where the politicians are just as corrupt as the lowlife below them.
