Description
The premise of this witty, insightful play on history' is that Karl Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, Marx is sent not to his former home in Soho, London but to SoHo, New York. Radical hilarity ensues as Howard Zinn and Brian Jones bring Karl Marx to life for a new generation.'
Author Biography
Brian Jones is an African-American actor and activist, has been performing this engaging one-man show across the country since 1999. Historian Howard Zinn is the author of numerous books, including A People's History of the United States.
ReviewsAn entertaining, first-rate solo performance . . . humorous, a little touching, and an acting tour-de force. -AOL Engaging and charismatic. . . . The audience was clearly with him as he critiqued the death penalty, mega-mergers and mass media. You wouldn't imagine that social criticism could make for lively theater, but Zinn's text and Jones's acting deftly blended the political with the personal. -Washington Post
