The UK premiere of Jonathan Dove's madcap opera: Marx in London! directed by Stephen Barlow and designed by Yannis Thavoris.Join us in Glasgow and Edinburgh ...

London, 1871. The spectre of communism might be haunting Europe, but Karl Marx’s demons are far more mundane. Watched by a spy, chased by debt collectors, harried by his family (legitimate and not), and rescued repeatedly from financial ruin by Friedrich Engels, a single madcap day is the backdrop for a run of misadventures and mistakes. Marx might have envisioned an economic system that would restore order and equality to the workers of the world, but his own affairs are in chaos. Amidst this storm in a teacup, can he find an hour to write?

Marx in London! takes the great thinker off his pedestal, interweaving zany humour with moments of pathos and poignancy. For the UK premiere of Jonathan Dove’s opera, director Stephen Barlow (praised by The Arts Desk for his ‘slick’ Flight in 2018) and designer Yannis Thavoris (praised by Bachtrack for his ‘splendid’ Ariodante in 2016 and ‘ingenious’ Madama Butterfly in 2014) create a kinetic new production, plumbing the frivolity and profundity of one man’s existence.

This grand farce is led by Roland Wood (Il trittico 2023) as Karl Marx, with Orla Boylan and Lucy Schaufer as the long-suffering women in his life. Following their star turns in Candide (2022), Paula Sides and William Morgan reunite as Marx’s eager youngest daughter and her hapless suitor. Scottish tenors Alasdair Elliott (The Miserly Knight 2022) and Jamie MacDougall (Il trittico 2023) take the roles of Engels and the Spy respectively
