Miss Marx … plays out the remarkably true story of Karl Marx's youngest daughter, Eleanor.

After falling into a tempestuous affair with a married man, can she follow her heart without abandoning the revolution? Recipient of the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Work, 2014.

Media Reviews
"Dawkins' text, and the voices he bids flow from his characters, appear to the mind's ear like a latter-day Bernard Shaw." -Chicago Theatre Review"A brainy, witty, passionate and ingenious mash-up of love and death, as well as of revolutionary ideas and sexual politics." -Chicago Sun-Times
"Dawkins is one of the Chicago theater's most promising talents, a shrewd and eloquent playwright." -Chicago Tribune
"His intelligent plays are highly theatrical, and rich with witty verbal dexterity." -Windy City Times
