Young Marx

Richard Bean (Author),Clive Coleman

Young Marx is a comedy set in 1850’s London, where Karl Marx, is hiding in Dean Street, Soho. Broke and restless, the play portrays the thirty-two-year-old revolutionary as 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 blocked, his marriage dying, his friend Engels in despair at his wasted genius, his only hope is a job on the railway. But there’s still no one in the capital who can show you a better night on the piss than Karl Heinrich Marx.

Young Marx aims to demystify Karl Marx, and is full of jokes and farce. It was chosen as the first play at the opening of London’s Bridge Theatre in 2017, where it played to critical acclaim.
