Mixing media, or Threepenny variations

   Posted by: Kathe   in Performance, Research

Saw the Theatre Company’s performance of The Threepenny Opera yesterday: it’s a work I love, and this was a tough, fleet production. Excellent use of video (in keeping with Brecht’s own epic theatre aesthetic): while posing a risk with audiences so used to giving all their attention to a screen, it paid off, the actors held their own.

Has there ever been, I wonder, a mix of human and puppet actors in Threepenny?
