Dead Dog in a Suitcase (And Other Love Songs)
About
“What the HELL is the world coming to”
MAYOR GOODMAN IS DEAD. Contract killer Macheath, fresh off a tough day at work has just married Polly Peachum, and they can’t wait to escape to somewhere better… but they’re not going anywhere. Not if the Pilchard Tycoons Mr and Mrs Peachum have their way. See their daughter marrying the Mayor’s killer doesn’t look great for Mr Peachum’s Mayoral campaign, and with Chief of Police Colin Lockit going mad trying to find him, could it get any more chaotic? Before the day is out Macheath will face the hangman’s noose, some unintentional offspring, a battle with morality and the nasty end of a revolver. All in this madcap show filled with music, puppets and madness.
