If you watch it, watch it with the text so you can keep up with the original version.

Don't take any character interpretations from this - they have really simplified the Brechtian style.

P.S The guy playing Macheath is also Gomez Addams in the Addams Family movies - he's better in that :) ]]> 2017-06-08 09:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175694827 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175695755 Directing a character (acting) - help sheet]]> 2017-06-08 09:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175695755 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175695828 Directing an interaction - help sheet]]> 2017-06-08 09:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175695828 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175695969 Indicative content for staging questions]]> 2017-06-08 09:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175695969 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175696103 Lesson - staging with model MRDJ]]> 2017-06-08 09:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/175696103 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176217225 2017-06-13 09:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176217225 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176217314 2017-06-13 09:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176217314 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176217733 Reminders of the name of different ways you can stage a scene: blocks, flats etc.]]> 2017-06-13 09:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176217733 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176302357 15/6 Staging lesson]]> 2017-06-13 18:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176302357 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176302456 16 marks - Staging answer]]> 2017-06-13 18:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176302456 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176302514 14 marks - Acting answer]]> 2017-06-13 18:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176302514 mrsholmesrevision https://padlet.com/mrsholmesrevision/threepennyopera/wish/176524401
