The Gilbert Theater is pleased to present
Marx in Soho
Marx in Soho is a one character play, written by renowned people’s historian Howard Zinn, which combines hard-hitting information with humor, sharp politics and sheer delight.
Marx in Soho won the 2000 Independent Publisher Award for best visionary fiction.
Directed by Marcela Casals
Produced and performed by Fenton Wilkinson
Howard Zinn brings Karl Marx back to life to address a contemporary audience in Soho in this witty and insightful “play on history.” Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, however, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case.
Zinn introduces us to Marx's wife, Jenny, his children, the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin,
and a host of other characters.
Marx in Soho is a brilliant introduction to Marx's life, his analysis for society,
and his passion for radical change — and the relevance of Marx's ideas for today.
