National Theatre Live in HD: Young Marx

National Theatre Live in HD simulcasts continue at the Latchis Theatre with a presentation of “Young Marx” on Sunday, February 4, at 2 p.m.
Rory Kinnear stars as Marx, and Oliver Chris is Engels in this new comedy from Nicholas Hytner and the creative team behind the Broadway and West End hit “One Man, Two Guvnors.”
Admission is $20, $10 for students at the door. For more information or advance credit card purchases, contact Sharry Manning at 802-257-5717 or sjmpr@comcast.net.
Broadcast from London’s newest venue, The Bridge Theatre, “Young Marx” is set in 1850s London and introduces a young Karl Marx at 32 years old. Broke, restless and horny, this young revolutionary is a frothing combination of intellectual brilliance, satiric wit and child-like emotional illiteracy.
Creditors, spies, rival revolutionary factions and prospective seducers of his beautiful wife all circle like vultures as he struggles with writer’s block and endures the failure of his marriage, all while his best friend Engels despairs at his wasted genius.
The Times called it “a seriously clever comedy. Riotous fun.” Radio Times added “hugely enjoyable. Pacy, witty and vivid.”
