(Weick) captured Marx and his ideas with the proper strength and subtlety, moving very effectively through a range of moods: humorous,angry, poignant. We admired Weick's transitions, change of pace, the nuances of feeling. In short, I are very happy with what you've done. He( John Doyle) directed the play brilliantly .

It's appropriate that the film Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train, an affectionate profile of the well-known liberal writer and activist, is being screened at the Ritz Theater the same time this piece is being performed around the corner at the American Philosophical Society. Zinn's Marx in Soho (Philadelphia) is as much about his vision of what society should be as it is about Marx's.
Though Marx has been demonized by some as the father of communism, Robert Weick portrays him as a personable man devoted to his wife and family as he writes Das Kapital and struggles to make ends meet in London, where he lived most of his life.
This show's Marx is also aware of all that has transpired since his death, which enables him to urge those in the audience toward political and social change. An impassioned Weick rises to this occasion, and though it's obvious he is speaking as Marx, the sentiments are clearly Zinn's.

If you're opposed to the Bush administration's domestic and international policies, you may be surprised how many ideologies you share with the title character in the Iron Age Theatre's production of Marx in Soho. But if you're worried this somehow makes you a Marxist, fear not—it turns out Karl Marx didn't even consider himself one.
There's an appealing purity to director John Doyle's production at the Philly Fringe, as a lone storyteller stands before us and plainly relates the tale of the philosopher's life. Because the play is set in present-day Philadelphia, Doyle has updated some of the facts and figures in Howard Zinn's script regarding America's GNP and the number of Americans without health insurance.
Addressing such hot-button issues as war and the death penalty, Marx's comments bear more than a passing resemblance to the left wing of the Democratic Party (regarding the death penalty, Marx offers that "rather than punishing criminals for crimes, we should destroy the social institutions that engender these crimes").
Yet while he abhors the lives needlessly wasted as a result of war and capitol punishment, it's capitalism for which he reserves his most impassioned oratory. Bemoaning the fact that 1 percent of the U.S. population retains 40 percent of the wealth or that millions of the nation's children are forced to live beneath the poverty level, he shakes his sadly before admitting that since his death, "Yes, capitalism has triumphed, but over whom?" Whom indeed?

Weick makes Marx a fully realized human being, sympathetic almost to the point of being saintly.
It almost goes without saying that Weick is an excellent actor, since anyone with lesser talents would hesitate to attempt this challenging role.
Weick, director John Doyle and "Marx in Soho" will give you a lot to think about, in time when it often seems that the powers that be do not want you to think at all.

Actor Bob Weick performed a powerful imitation of Karl Marx during four shows at the school, presenting a brilliant look at Marx’s life, ideas and passion for radical change. He also succeeded in showing how relevant Marx’s ideas are to modern times by speaking to the world’s current international unrest and addressing local issues. His ideas were passionate as he walked into the audience and pronounced his idealistic views of what society should be like.

Marx in Soho is a collaborative event between the CORE curriculum, Challenge of Modernity-CORE 152, and the Sophomore Year Experience program. We want to take the academic curriculum and make it come alive for our students. Marx's thoughts are as current today as it was during his time. The academic and student affairs joint programming initiative looks to engage our students in and outside the classroom. Marx in Soho is an ideal performance for this engagement

Thanks again for the opportunity to expose my class to your production. It was truly a good marriage of excellent writing and acting. What better way to learn about Marx and his ideas than from the man himself. This is a prime example of differentiating instruction in and excitng and interactive way; It is teaching and learning the way it is supposed to be.
