Marx in Soho
July 13, 2011 to July 14, 2011
Howard Zinn's Marx in Soho
performed by Brian Jones
Tickets: $20
After one sold-out show in Vancouver this past November, Karl Marx is coming back to Vancouver.
About the Play
Don't you wonder: why is it necessary to declare me dead again and again?
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.
Brian Jones, an African American actor and activist, has been performing this engaging one-man show across the country since 1999.
Marx in Soho is a brilliant introduction to Marx's life, his analysis of society, and his passion for radical change. Zinn also shows how Marx's ideas are relevant in today's world.
Venue: Rio Theatre
Location: 1660 East Broadway Vancouver, BC
