Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs). A New Beggar's Opera

This is a high paced, energetic, modernised version of the ‘Beggar’s Opera’, performed and created by Kneehigh Theatre Company.

It includes live music and singing! There are 9 main roles in this show with a good mix of male/female and non gendered roles. All groups are covered and this style of this play would encourage a diverse casting.

There are 8 ensemble parts also. 

The story follows MacHeath, a contract killer, who through the unscrupulous motives of the Peachums, kills off mayor Goodman. Lies, Deceit, Corruption, Love, Hate and Passion, Dead Dog has it all.
