The Beggar's Opera (Regents Restoration Drama Series)
The Beggar's Opera - Regents Restoration Drama Series Author:John Gay A receiver of stolen goods informs on his chief supplier, setting in motion an increasingly absurd turn of events. In addition to its burlesque of the then-current vogue for Italian operatic styles, this satirical 1728 play ridicules a broad spectrum of political figures and social conventions. Influential prototype for Threepenny Opera.
