	Theater News - Reviews: The Threepenny Opera -
		In addition to Polly's usual songs, she has been handed the interpolated "Surabaya Johnny" (from Happy End); this serves the double purpose of giving the bewitching, silver-voiced Errico another number and indicating that her character, a sort of neo-ingénue, is even less innocent than her parents might pretend.
		As Lucy Brown, the third of the bandit Macheath's women, Karen Ziemba is a pistol: her comedic skills are fully displayed, and her vocal harmonies with Errico in the "Jealousy Duet" are especially beguiling in that Threepenny's duets, trios, quartets, and ensemble numbers are sung almost entirely in unison.
		David Schramm is wonderfully self-satisfied as the corrupt, venal merchant J.J. Peachum, and the always-terrific Randy Graff is a major presence as his wife; Graff's rendition of the "Ballad of Dependency" with the original, unbowdlerized, sexually explicit English lyrics of the brilliant Marc Blitzstein is something to hear.

	Threepenny Review marks 25 years of doggedly panning for literary gold
		But in January 1980, three months after making her vow, Lesser introduced the first issue of Threepenny Review, a literary quarterly that today is celebrating its 25th anniversary and 100th issue.
		From the first days of Threepenny, which takes its name from Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera," Lesser knew she wanted a magazine that was Bay Area-based but not remotely regional.
		In the first Threepenny Review, Lesser roped in several graduate-school pals ("They told me later they thought it would plotz within a year"), a couple of ex-boyfriends and a piece by her mother, the author Millicent Dillon ("A Little Original Sin").

		When The Threepenny Review celebrated its 100th issue and 25th year recently, the literary quarterly received headlines for that milestone and gave itself a big party.
		But here's the surprise: While Threepenny represents the triumph of the bookish little guy in the age of publishing giants and gossip magazines, it is a behemoth in a landscape crowded with 1,000 literary magazines.
		Or Blue Collar Review: Journal of Progressive Working Class Literature, a quarterly of mostly poetry from Norfolk, Va. (founded by a poet who works as a hospital coordinator), that aspires to give voice to working-class values, all on an annual budget of about $5,500 and a print run of 600.

	The Threepenny Opera
		Bertolt Brecht and Kurt We ill's The Threepenny Opera is a masterpiece of musical theater that grew out of its writers' experience of Weimar Germany, the period between the World Wars when Germany struggled to establish a working democracy in the face of economic malaise and the bitterness of military defeat.
		A man who sees another man on a street corner with only a stump for an arm will be so shocked the first time he'll give him sixpence.
		For this cynical scenario, Weill wrote a score that has become part of Western culture's consciousness: jazzy, syncopated, dissonant, and full of inventive melody, it captures the essence of the mocking, ironic tone of the book.

		ThreePenny Review and other literary magazines like it know damn well where the readers have gone, they've voted with their feet, and they're outta here.
		What I'm saying is that literary magazines have no one to blame but themselves for the fact that literature has "fallen off the radar screen" by targeting their appeal to an ever more selective audience.

	VH1.com : Movies : Movie : The Threepenny Opera : Review
		Librettist Bertolt Brecht was understandably upset with the considerable liberties taken in transferring his and Kurt Weill's monumental The Threepenny Opera to the screen.
		Pabst and his designers have given the film a distinctive chiaroscuro look, and the director has created several sequences -- including the climactic march during the coronation -- that are simply stunning.
		Ultimately, the problems in adapting Threepenny to the screen keep the film from being a classic, but it's still a unique experience.

	Shock Therapy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		After testing a veritable pharmaceutical stockpile of antidepressants with little to no success, psychiatrist Susan Mahler's own psychiatrist finally recommended ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) as a possible solution to her depression.
		In Threepenny Review, she recounts her struggle against depression and her willingness to subject her brain to "several hundred volts of electrical current." Following each session of electric jolts to "re-set" her brain, she struggles with concepts of memory and the brain's constructions of self, taking stock to make sure none have been erased.
		When she awakes from her first treatment, she is surprised and overwhelmed by her khaki pants, but for the first time takes notice of the flowering blossoms near her home.

	"I Knew He Doesn't Really Love Her": Movie-going and Memory - An Introduction to "The Zipper"
		In the early 1990s, while wandering around bookshops in Berkeley, I picked up some copies of The Threepenny Review (though not the issue with Michaels' essay in it) and have kept up with it on and off ever since.
		The Threepenny Review publishes terrific pieces by people I've always enjoyed reading elsewhere — John Berger, Stephen Greenblatt, Luc Sante, Carol Clover, Carlo Ginzburg — and includes poetry, a film section, essays on photography.
		Michaels' description of a youthful act of lapsarian film viewing captures the helplessness of the 13-year-old male viewer as he watches actions he senses must be bad.

	MetroActive Stage \| Threepenny Opera
		THE WEST COUNTY THEATRE Arts Guild's ambitious maiden production, The Threepenny Opera (book by Bertolt Brecht, music by Kurt Weill), surely has its creators turning in their graves--more likely a rotisserie in this case.
		Director Pauline Pfandler's first mistake is in using an adaptation of The Threepenny Opera that resets the ensemble of villainous preindustrial-age English rapscallions, cheats, and hookers into modern Washington, D.C., on the eve of a presidential inauguration.
		Unfortunately, The Threepenny Opera, despite the title, is a cabaret-style musical.
