The Forest is immensely excited to be bringing internationally touring actor, activist and sociologist Jerry Levy to Edinburgh for special benefit performances of his two hit shows, Howard Zinn’s “Marx in Soho” and Wallace Shawn’s “The Fever”.
MARX IN SOHO, by Howard Zinn
directed by Michael Fox Kennedy
performed by Jerry Levy
Howard Zinn’s play, “Marx in Soho” portrays the return of Karl Marx. Embedded in some secular afterlife where intellectuals, artists, and radicals are sent, Marx is given permission by the administrative committee to return to Soho London to have his say. But through a bureaucratic mix-up, he winds up in SOHO in New York. From there the audience is given a rare glimpse of a Marx seldom talked about; Marx the man. The play offers an entertaining and thorough introduction to a person who knows little about Marx’s life, while also offering valuable insight to students of his ideas.

THE FEVER, by Wallace Sawn
directed by Thomas Griffin
performed by Jerry Levy
Wallace Shawn’s play, “The Fever” explores what a sensitive, well educated, arts loving and consumption-driven man or woman of any age discovers when his/her life-affirming existence is related to the often brutal suffering of others. In the bathroom of a hotel our “anti-hero” feverishly defends and relentlessly attacks his own way of life. Inner voices and imagined characters fuel his fever as he narrates and often attempts to enact his story.
“The Fever” presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Services Inc.
