Have you heard of Howard Zinn's play Marx in Soho? It's been making the rounds at some unusual theater sites: UC-Santa Cruz, Rutgers, the University of Vermont, Brown, etc. Tonight, Mount St. Mary's University in Maryland stages a production. Kirkus Reviews calls the play a "vivid portrait of Karl Marx as a voice of humanitarian justice." Say what? Forgive me for being skeptical of Marx in Soho. Anyone would be who saw Marx in Phnom Penh, Marx in Havana, Marx in Pyongyang, or Marx in East Berlin.

Haha this is just soo funny. Flynn knows nothing about the play but Hey any chance to take a jab at Marx take it huh? THis is just a waste of space. Thanks for a stupid post. What are you trying to say? Why mention that the play is being performed at colleges? More about how these college institutions are crazy communist anit-american havens of free thought. GOD FORBID. Read the play...its a satire you tool.

asd: Howard Zinn writing a satire of Marx? Or -- hold on, I think I get your joke -- are you doing a satire of a leftist?

I produced communist-themed plays while on the left in the 90s. Thought I was keeping alive some "great hope". Marx on stage is better left to Groucho, Chico, and Harpo.
