Theater News - Reviews: The Threepenny Opera - (824 words)
In addition to Polly's usual songs, she has been handed the interpolated "Surabaya Johnny" (from Happy End); this serves the double purpose of giving the bewitching, silver-voiced Errico another number and indicating that her character, a sort of neo-ingénue, is even less innocent than her parents might pretend.
As Lucy Brown, the third of the bandit Macheath's women, Karen Ziemba is a pistol: her comedic skills are fully displayed, and her vocal harmonies with Errico in the "Jealousy Duet" are especially beguiling in that Threepenny's duets, trios, quartets, and ensemble numbers are sung almost entirely in unison.
David Schramm is wonderfully self-satisfied as the corrupt, venal merchant J.J. Peachum, and the always-terrific Randy Graff is a major presence as his wife; Graff's rendition of the "Ballad of Dependency" with the original, unbowdlerized, sexually explicit English lyrics of the brilliant Marc Blitzstein is something to hear.
Threepenny Review marks 25 years of doggedly panning for literary gold (1460 words)
But in January 1980, three months after making her vow, Lesser introduced the first issue of Threepenny Review, a literary quarterly that today is celebrating its 25th anniversary and 100th issue.
From the first days of Threepenny, which takes its name from Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera," Lesser knew she wanted a magazine that was Bay Area-based but not remotely regional.
In the first Threepenny Review, Lesser roped in several graduate-school pals ("They told me later they thought it would plotz within a year"), a couple of ex-boyfriends and a piece by her mother, the author Millicent Dillon ("A Little Original Sin").
