🎭 UbiqueTheo Threepenny Opera boasts great voices, but it doesn't quite gel. | ✍️ Kelly Kleiman
Directors have two jobs: to help the audience understand what the play is about and to stage it so the audience can see it. Director Fred Anzevino has failed at both here.is, like most Bertolt Brecht works, a critique of respectability: its antihero Macheath is a charming criminal, while its villains are the police and people who claim to be charitable.
Kurt Weill’s score, which includes pieces relevant to the theme but completely ancillary to the plot magnifies the problem of getting to and staying on point. Staging the show in every corner of the space while a number of audience members sit in the middle of the action exacerbates the problem of focus: wherever you’re facing is the wrong way. Under the music direction of Ryan Brewster , the show includes the fine voices we’ve come to expect of this company.
