Washington Post: "Feisty ‘Marx in Soho’ opens a block from new Irish working-class drama ‘Coolatully’
"The show is “Marx in Soho,” but the vibe is pure Washington throughout the fierce political diatribe unfolding in a small art gallery near the White House."
"It undervalues Myers to say she commands the living-room-size Caos on F, with seating for 30. Yet command it she does, roving the space as her Marx recalls writing “Das Kapital” while observing the rising rift between workers and industrialists in London’s Soho district. Myers looks you in the eye and expects answers whenever she asks questions. Her lively give-and-take brings wit and personality to what could be a highly wonky talk."

DC Theatre Scene: "Nu Sass takes on Karl Marx and wins. Marx in Soho"
"...this honest critic thinks the timely and timeless production is outrageously well done."
"Marx in Soho may technically be a one-person show, but Myers, under Angela Kay Pirko’s measured and naturalistic direction, does great work to include the audience in the piece."
"Marx in Soho is both entertaining and enlightening, giving you some things to think about long after you’ve left the theater."

DC Metro Theater Arts, "Review: Marx in Soho at Nu Sass Productions"
"...another highly successfully, nervy production by Nu Sass with it mantra, “strong women, great theatre.”"
"As Marx, Mary Myers showed that a whole new outlook is possible for the representation of demi-god Karl Marx. He was far from some myth to be worshipped. Myers, with Zinn’s script, made Marx a complicated person who worshipped his family even if he was a lousy provider. With her physical presence and bearing, her humor and even some visible tears, all no more than a few inches from the audience, Myers (in purposely ill-fitting suit by Aubri O’Connor) performed with self-assured ease and confidence. To quote one of the audience I heard as I left the fine performance by Myers; “She was Marx to me!”"
"Under the shrewd direction of Angela Kay Pirko, Marx in Soho is, thankfully, not simple nostalgia..."
"Nu Sass’s production of Marx in Soho is weighty and illuminating."
