The intrigue of a father who disobeys his daughter, the clash of two underworld rivals and the vacillating guardian of public order between them, and the confrontation of three (dis)enchanted ladies - this titillating story from the milieu of crime and prostitution was a means for the playwright John Gay to draw a complex political satire on the corruption of English society at the beginning of the 18th century.
