Karl Marx In Soho: A Play On History

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.Zinn introduces us to Marxs wife, Jenny, his children, the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, and a host of other characters.Marx in Soho is a brilliant introduction to Marxs life, his analysis of society, and his passion for radical change. Zinn also shows how relevant Marxs ideas are for todays world.
