Next to Terrible Turk, we get ill. He made this cheap musical drama. (3,10,5)
all answers are connected (loosely) with money.
All I can find is the Terrible turk - Ishmael Youssuf (with various spellings) a wrestler.
A hint please?

rhua You are not thinking cryptically. Here "Terrible" means "anagram"!

[rhua]

I tried anagrams for the first month, but got nowhere, so thought I'd go another route.
Back to the drawing board then!
Thanks crofter.

There are a couple of questions structured like this one in the Quiz - the other one being no. 28

You need to identify a composer ....

terrible turk - anagram turk for a christian name

we get ill - just follow the logic to get a surname

you now have the name of a composer who composed a famous 'piece of music' .... that is the answer!

[athenae]

just to clarify the composer you seek wrote the music, the libretto was by Berthold Brecht !

The Threepenny opera
