Summary: Historical adaptation of John Gay's opera which brings to life all the corruption, lust and greed of low-life London.
Possibly the first ever English musical, John Gay's THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, tells the tale of a dandy highwayman, locked up in prison in 18th century London, who decides to write an opera based on his own career. With one song after another, Peter Brook's primary coloured, exuberant 1952 adaptation brings the opera to big-screen life.
