A full-length stage play.
Waiting for Godot is reinvented when Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
materialise in old haunts in London, but in the present-day, to try incite the revolution this time around, with the people suffering yet another recession not of their making.
Also arrived are the two women in Marx's life (his wife and his housekeeper), both of whom he'd exploited to aid his protracted writing of Das Kapital - his magnum opus on capitalism’s contradictions and failures.
They re-enact scenes from 150 years earlier to see if their arguments hold up for our emancipation from our enslavement to the discredited regime that is 'political market economy'. They present these to a multi-character 'ordinary Joe', to see if he will be persuaded this time to take action.
Also available as a one-act, two-hander.
