Dreigroschenoper! (Three Penny Opera)

Wow! Watched the current production of Bertold Brecht's "Three-Penny Opera" at the Berliner Ensemble last night. It was absolutely incredible! I found a brief review of the show online and embedded it below. I wanted to watch it last year, but it wasn't playing while I was in Berlin. Fortunately, the timing worked out this year.
I would describe the look of the piece as expressionistic, and it seemed like a mash-up of Tim Burton and Brecht. The makeup was striking and the costuming further accentuated the cartoonish/animated look of the piece. It was a creative means of achieving Brecht's "Verfremdungs-Effekt".
My favorite actor was Christina Drechsler playing Polly Peachum. Her interpretation of the character was dynamic--you couldn't take your eyes off her. She's the girl Mack the Knife is dragging onstage by her arm...
