PERFORMANCE

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
“Whatever your leanings, it’s hard not to come out of this show
stirred and stimulated.” — San Francisco Bay Guardian

Before being injured, Tony Palmieri played a variety of roles ranging from Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream to Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. Since his injury, he has performed in his one man show, Shakespeare on Wheels directed by his acting coach, Judy Magee.

Howard Zinn, historian, playwright and social activist, is the author of the bestselling A People's History of the United States and Emma, a play about Emma Goldman.

Director Michael J. Murnin has directed for The Theatre Company,
Broadway Arts Theatre for Young Audiences, The Roundabout Theatre
Ensemble, The PANDA project at Playwrights Horizons and was Artistice Director at the Westside Repertory Theatre.
