Marx is back! The premise of this witty and insightful "play on history" is that Karl Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, though, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case.
Howard Zinn, best known for his book, A Peoples History of the United States, introduces us to Marx's wife, Jenny, his children, the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, and a host of other characters. Zinn also shows how Marx's ideas are relevant in today's world. Marx in Soho is a brilliant introduction to Marx's life, his analysis of society, and his passion for radical change.
Bob Weick has been performing this engaging one-man show across the country since 1999.
