The Iron Heel
About the show
Untitled Theater Company #61 presents a new stage adaptation of Jack London's 1908 dystopian novel of the same name. More…
Written as political propaganda, 'The Iron Heel' tells the story of an election between a socialist revolutionary and an entrenched oligarch. The oligarch prevails, turning America fascist, and inspiring the Marxist revolution. Though it's set in the early- to mid-20th century, its themes nonetheless have obvious relevance during our current election season. This is a deliberately low-tech production, a gathering that can travel to multiple venues, public and private. Reflecting socialist philosophy, all performances are either free or pay what you can. Most performances take place at Brooklyn's South Oxford Space, however, check the show's official website for a complete list of venues.

MEMBERS SAY:
See it if history and political polemic interest you. Based on a Jack London novel, amazing to see all he predicted about events in the 20th century
Don't see it if Definitely for people who feel the Bern London even predicted the 1% Pro worker and union
See it if You're into adaptation of political stories; also of plays with music and interactive plays (they give you the music to sing along).
Don't see it if Political Theatre isn't your thing. Or you aren't a fan of singing along with the characters. Also it's a little long and draggy at points.
See it if You're a fan of Historically (somewhat accurate) Dramas (with interludes of singing).
Don't see it if You like your theatre-going experience to be light & airy, with memorable tunes you walk away with.
