MARX IN SOHO PRESENTED AT SUNRISE THEATER!
For one day only, Karl Marx will come back to life on the Sunrise Theater stage in play Marx in Soho. The show will be presented on Sunday, October 14, 2007 at 2:30 and 7:00 p.m. Tickets will be at $15 at the door, $12 in advance, $5 for students. Advance tickets may be purchased at Campbell House (482 E. Connecticut Ave., Southern Pines) and Nature’s Own (195 Bell Ave., Southern Pines). Proceeds from the show will benefit the Arts Council of Moore County’s Barnes-Travis Arts Scholarship for middle and high school students.
Marx in Soho is a one person play, written by renowned people’s historian Howard Zinn. In it, Marx comes back to life to address a contemporary audience in this funny 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.
Winner of the 2000 Independent Publisher Award for best visionary fiction, Marx in Soho combines hard-hitting information with humor, sharp politics and sheer delight. This performance is directed by Marcela Casals and produced and performed by Fenton Wilkinson of Whispering Pines.
