Ferhan Şensoy and his team perform their play, which takes place inside a ship, from inside the same ship for their audience. Ferhan Şensoy, a true wordsmith, plays the captain, and the ship's crew returns from a long voyage and sets sail for Turkey. When they see the state of the country, they decide to turn back, saying, "Take it, it's yours." Deeply troubled by the public's tendency to accept every new crisis as normal, Şensoy remarks, "In another country, the people would rise up and protest, but here, such things do not occur," and in his "Audience Logbook," he critiques the nation's issues using the vernacular of the people.

Ferhan Şensoy says the following about The Threepenny Opera: "When updating Brecht's (The Threepenny Opera) 67 years later, I sometimes approach John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera." For example, in the original work performed 267 years ago, Mack the Knife was a folk hero, while in Brecht's version, he is an ordinary thief. Our own Mahmut is a Kemalist gangster. But we don't stray too far from Brecht; in our play, too, the wrong characters say the right things. And yet The Threepenny Opera is not an opera. It is not a Brecht 'work.' It is an epic farce as close to Brecht's Kel Hasan Efendi as it is to his own work."
