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, Marx is sent to Soho in New York - rather than his old stomping ground in London - to make his case. Howard Zinn introduces us to Marx's wife, Jenny, his children, the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin and a host of other characters.
