Howard Zinn's Marx in Soho
with Tony Palmieri as Karl Marx
Directed by Michael J. Murnin
Howard Zinn’s “Marx in Soho” portrays the return of Marx roughly a
century after his death. Embedded in some secular afterlife where
intellectuals, artists, and radicals are sent, Marx is given
permission by the administrative committee to return to Soho London
to have his say. But through a bureaucratic mix–up, he winds up in
SoHo in New York.
“By showing us Marx the man, Zinn poignantly humanizes him. By
showing us Marx the theorist, Zinn gently educates us. And by
bringing Marx into today’s era, Zinn cleverly and unmistakably argues the relevance of Marx’s ideas in our time.” — Backstage West
