A bold reimagining of Howard Zinn’s Marx in Soho, bringing Karl Marx’s ideas into the here and now.
Blending humour, politics, and performance, it explores how Marx’s critiques of power, class, and inequality still resonate — and where they don’t — both at home and further away. Expect sharp words, lively debate, and a few uncomfortable truths as we ask not what Marx believed, but what we still believe.
