About This Show

MWO’s radical reworking of John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera. Join Mrs Peachum, her daughter Polly and the Beggar in their bawdy, ballsy take on relationships and the virtues of virginity. Horrified to learn of Polly’s marriage to a highwayman, Mrs P contrives to get the rascal hanged. Loyalty and love are put to the test as murder, rage and fury drive this tragicomedy towards its conclusion.
