ON THE FRINGE: Win FOUR tickets to Marx in Soho

POSTED: Thursday, September 9, 2010, 5:48 PM

Sweet giveaway today, y'all: We've got four tickets to Iron Age's Marx in Soho — so enter quick, and then invite the whole fam. The best part? The Norristown-based theater company's hosting this Fringe show in the heart of Old City, so you won't need four wheels to get there.

Iron Age Theatre

Bob Weick in Marx in Soho

Mark Cofta previewed the show in last week's Fringe package:

Iron Age Theatre presents Marx in Soho, late muckraker Howard Zinn's one-man show about the father of communism. Karl Marx called religion "the opiate of the masses," a view he might revise if he could experience today's television and Internet. Bob Weick, who grew that iconic gray beard for the role, plays Marx defending his political, social and economic ideas with wit and gusto. Bring a Tea Partier whose head you want to explode.

To win a set of four tickets to the Saturday, Sept. 11, 2 p.m. show at Twelve Gates Art Gallery (305 Cherry St.), answer this trivia question:

What line of The Communist Manifesto is engraved on Karl Marx's tombstone?

E-mail me at carolyn.huckabay@citypaper.net to win! [UDPATE, 2 p.m.]: Congrats to CritMass reader Melissa, who correctly answered that Marx's grave reads, "Workers of all lands unite."
