Although there is debate as to how much, if any, Hauptmann might have contributed to the text, Brecht is usually listed as sole author.
The work offers a socialist critique of the capitalist world.
It opened on 31 August 1928 at Berlin's Theater am Schiffbauerdamm.
Songs from "The Threepenny Opera" have been widely covered and become standards, most notably  ("The Ballad of Mack the Knife") and  ("Pirate Jenny").

The film is loosely based on the 1928 musical theatre success "The Threepenny Opera" by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.
As was usual in the early sound film era, Pabst also directed a French language version of the film, "L'Opéra de quat'sous", with some variation of plot details (the French title literally translates as "the four penny opera").
A planned English version was not made.
The two existing versions were released by The Criterion Collection on home video.
"The Threepenny Opera" differs in significant respects from the play and the internal timeline is somewhat vague.
The whole of society is presented as corrupt in one form or another.
Only some of the songs from the play are used, in a different order.
