Eleanor Marx: The Jewess of Jew Walk

Details

Telling the true story of an inspirational woman and her tragic final days. When Eleanor Marx moved to 7 Jews Walk, Sydenham, in 1895, she believed she would be happy there. To Eleanor - a self-styled 'Jewess' - even the name of the road seemed a good omen. Her hopes could not be further from reality. Within months, Karl Marx's youngest daughter was suffering at the hands of her common-law husband Edward Aveling, with shocking consequences. To this day, the dramatic events that unfolded at 7 Jews Walk are shrouded in mystery and doubt... Box office: Kirkdale Bookshop, 272 Kirkdale, Sydenham SE26 4RS. Tel 020 8778 4701
