'The Threepenny Opera': Robert Wilson's vision has ups, downs
"It's art, it's not nice." That comment, made by someone in "The Threepenny Opera," could also be said of Robert Wilson's vision of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's 1928 satiric musical. As a living art installation, the production is consistently striking. As an engaging and biting piece of theater about man's baser natures, it's got ups and downs and a couple zzz-inducing stretches.
