Entrada Livre
You can’t have a Theatre for everyone without everyone coming to the Theatre. That’s why D.Maria II Theatre’s new season is getting underway with two free admission days. Shows for all ages, concerts, readings, book launches, exhibitions and the Theatre Book Fair are just some of the reasons to get down to Rossio. But the real reason is to get together again.

A show for my children, or the life of Karl Marx told to children and as a reminder to the people is a show for youngsters about Karl Marx’s life (1818-1883) and some of his main ideas. But this is also a show about parents and children, about separations and journeys, about the passing of time, about work and free time. About being a parent and being a worker. About how, sometimes, we feel like old dinosaurs on the verge of extinction.
