Set against a backdrop of 18th-century London, this work blends drama and satire, featuring a cast of colorful characters from the criminal underworld. The narrative critiques social injustices and the corruption of the upper class through the lens of a beggar's tale. This edition includes the original overture and music for each song, preserving the high-quality elements of the 1765 publication. The combination of engaging storytelling and musical elements makes it a unique piece of literary and theatrical history.
