A stinging critique of capitalist society, The Seven Deadly Sins brings into sharp focus the perpetual battle between money and morals.
Created by the trail-blazing duo of the Weimer Republic, Kurt Weill and Bertold Brecht, the satirical ballet-chanté ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’ was to be the pair’s final collaboration. Hitler had come to power, and the Jewish Weill and Marxist Brecht had both left Germany in haste.
Weill was to come to terms with capitalist America more readily than Brecht, writing a series of popular musicals
