Description

Karl Marx, a 32-year-old revolutionary, finds himself in a precarious situation. Broke and restless, he struggles with intellectual brilliance, satirical wit, and emotional illiteracy. Creditors, spies, rival factions, and those who seek to seduce his wife all circle around him. His writing is blocked, his marriage is dying, and his friend Engels is despairing of his wasted potential. Desperate for a solution, Marx considers a job on the railway. Despite his intellectual pursuits, he knows how to have a good time - there's no one in London who can show you a better night out. This comedy aims to demystify Karl Marx, presenting him as a complex and flawed individual. With its jokes and farce, Young Marx offers a fresh perspective on the life of this influential figure.
