• Its cheerful cynicism turns conventional morality on its head: here the bad guys win, simply because they are meaner than everyone else. The apparent deus ex machina, in which Mack the Knife is saved at the last minute from the hangman's noose, is a sardonic reversal that, rather than providing an escapist happy ending, reveals an uncomfortable truth: the biggest criminals get off scot-free.
How actors use the acting space/stage
• We need to look at set in 3PO• In groups, you will be allocated one set to
design/draw/annotate• Label where actors will stand when the action
changes within the scene (ie. when a song starts)
• Label where the organ will sit on stage• You will tell the class about your design
The sets• Peachum’s shop• The stable• The whorehouse in Turnbridge• The death cell and the gallows
