The Crescent Undercover Surveillance Team (aka marketing@crescent-theatre.co.uk) has put together a substantial dossier on these inhabitants of London's seedier areas.
To assist the public in keeping this low-life under control there is now a website put together by the team with more details, including past form of gang members, identification photographs and some surveillance video.
The team is seeking large numbers of people to keep an eye on these villains next week between 7.30pm and 10.00pm Monday to Saturday (May 14th - 19th), with an additional opportunity Saturday afternoon from 2.30pm to 5.00pm.
There is a small fee for taking part in this surveillance.

The Threepenny Opera
by Kurt Weill, Lyrics by Jeremy Sams
Mon 14th - Sat 19th May 2007 at 7.30pm in The Main House
Matinée - Sat 19th at 2.30pm
Gangland London where life is cheap and crime usually pays.
The daring, charming yet utterly criminal Macheath (Mack the Knife) marries Polly Peachum. Her father, Jonathan Peachum, who controls the city’s beggar gangs, is less than pleased. He endeavours to have Macheath hanged by any means.
But the chief of police, Tiger Brown, is an old friend of Macheath’s. Peachum however, exerts considerable political influence, and eventually Macheath is arrested and imprisoned, escapes, then is imprisoned once more. He’s soon sentenced to death and it looks like it may be all over for Macheath. Or is it?
