The time is now. The place is here. Karl Marx is back from the dead. And he’s got some things to say.
The critically acclaimed production is back. The Marx Sisters invite you into the mind of one of the most brilliant and controversial philosophers of all time. Famous historian and activist Howard Zinn has written a politically charged and brilliantly heartfelt piece that is both timeless and timely in its message: change comes from us.
The revolution has been resurrected.
