The play portrays Marx as a 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. Marx's writing is blocked, his marriage is dying, his friend Engels is in despair at his wasted genius, and his only hope is a job on the railway. However, there is still no one in the capital who can show him 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 112g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 197 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350258785\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RichardBean,Clive Coleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094198579450,"sku":"9781350258785","price":11.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646217275137_book.jpg?v=1646927362","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/young-marx-9781350258785","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
