Synopsis
Young Marx
$14.99 Published by Oberon
A new play from the author of the acclaimed comedy One Man, Two Guvnors ...
It's 1850 and Europe's most feared terrorist is hiding in Soho, London's red-light district
Broke, restless and horny, the thirty-two-year-old revolutionary is a frothing combination of intellectual brilliance, invective, satiric wit, and child-like emotional illiteracy
Creditors, spies, rival revolutionary factions and prospective seducers of his beautiful wife all circle like vultures
His writing's blocked
His marriage is dying
And his friend Engels is in despair at his wasted genius
His only hope is a job on the railway
But there's still no one in London who can show you a better night out than the young Karl Heinrich Marx
