But bureaucracies are the same in<br>heaven as on earth, and due to a clerical error, Marx lands in Old<br>City Philadelphia rather than his stomping grounds in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234473636_4">London</span>. Fed up<br>with the gloating of the right wing that "Marxism is dead" after the<br>fall of the Soviet Union, and eager to reclaim his ideas from the<br>distortion of Stalin's brutalities and pseudo-socialism's repressions,<br>Marx urgently uses current news and events to show how his ideas still<br>resonate by launching into a passionate, funny and moving defense of<br>his life and political ideas. He shares his reflections on history and<br>philosophy as he retells the very human and personal story of his life<br>in Soho through encounters with the anarchist Michael Bakunin, the<br>revolutionary P. J. Proudhon, his brilliant daughter Eleanor, and his<br>wife, Jenny. The play is more than just a political discussion - it is<br>the experience of the life and mind of Karl Marx. Bob Weick's powerful<br>performance portrays the largeness of the ideas and the human nature<br>of the man. The intimacy, honesty and power of his portrayal makes<br>MARX IN SOHO a rewarding and affecting experience. Howard Zinn shows<br>his characteristic gift of accurately humanizing but not<br>sentimentalizing people most historians ignore at best or disfigure at<br>worst. Zinn doesn't preach, but rather uses mischievous humor to<br>tackle the United State's educational system, super-rich ruling class,<br>corporate mergers, prisons, political chicanery, and media. The play<br>provides a dynamic way to open discussions about contemporary<br>politics, historical analysis and economic philosophy.<br><br>Sponsored by the following <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234473636_5">Clark University Departments</span>: International<br>Studies Stream, Higgins School of the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234473636_6">Humanities</span>, Graduate School of<br>Geography, History Department, and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234473636_7">International Development Community<br>& Environment</span><br><br>-- <br>In solidarity......<br>______________________<br>Praxis is a loosely organized, democratic collective dedicated to<br>action for social change.
