In Stephen Jeffreys's new version of The Beggar's Opera, the world's first ever musical has been reimagined as a performance on board a creaking convict ship bound for Australia.
To pass the time, the convicts put on John Gay's musical satire, introducing us to treacherous highwayman MacHeath and sweet Polly Peachum as they juggle love and deceit in the dirty underbelly of eighteenth-century London. It's a world the convicts have left far behind, and will probably never see again.
