Threepenny Opera - Westminster school

Another show we went to see at Westminster school was Threepenny opera. Another play done by the entire 6th form. About a father who is trying to get his Daughter's lover killed in order to split them up. A character that took my attention particularly was the character of the Narrator - He was a larger than life and exaggerated character that made the plot of the story move on. In a way, Whenever the narrator appeared, It made it seem like we wanted to know more about the narrator rather than the actual plot itself which i found quite interesting.
Threepenny opera was a Brechtian play which i didn't really see as a good interpretation of a brechtian play though (apart from the occasional alienation technique) but that was pretty much it.
All in all, The play was quite entertaining to watch and was the first ever play that i went to see at Westminster school.
