That was just grand! I never saw it before!
Sort of intense eh. In original Deutsch. The saloon singers Darin, Sinatra, whoever, don't quite get it ---for one Brecht fought the nazis for years (the way Sinatra sings it, youd think Mackie's a mafia hero or somethin'). The nazis would show up at Brecht's plays and throw shit at the stage.
Finally he left for US in '40 or so via Sweden or something--then the McCarthyites had Brecht testify on whether he was a Red or not (he said No)
Brecht/Weill's Three Penny Opera has some gems. Occasionally it's been staged in a ...brothel.
