July 11-29, The Electric Lodge, Venice Ca.
ABOUT THE PLAY
Marx launches into a passionate, funny and moving
defense of his life and political ideas in Howard Zinn's brilliant, timely play, "Marx in Soho." The play is an excellent introduction to Marx's life, his analysis of society, and his passion for radical change. Marx uses current news and events to show how his ideas still resonate. "Why are you building more and more
prisons," he asks. "Yes, capitalism has triumphed. But over whom?" American education, America's super rich
ruling class, corporate mergers, prisons, and the media are some of the issues Marx confronts during the course
of the play. Zinn's dialogue doesn't preach, rather it is full of mischievous humor.
