‘Three Penny Opera”, also known as “The Beggar’s Opera”, is one of the most special comedies written by Havel. This piece was written in 1972 but was played for the first time on November 1, 1976. Havel based the story on some elements of “The beggar’s opera”, written by the English drama-writer John Geit on 17th century. He removed the musical elements along with some characters focusing only on the seemingly decent but essentially bloody behavior of the power.
