Marx in Soho

So I know it's not anti-war, and I know it's not dealing with veterans' issues, but it's a play and it's fun and everyone should go.

February 7th at 7pm Brian Jones will be performing "Marx in Soho" a play written by Howard Zinn. Tickets are $5 for students, $7 before the day of the show, and $10 at the door. I'm copy pasting some information below.

About Marx in Soho

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 relevant Marx's ideas are for today's world.
