An all-singing, all-dancing romp through 2,500 years of political philosophy!
ORIGINAL OXFORD PRODUCTION, O'REILLY THEATRE 2013
In order to draw inspiration for his magnum opus, John Rawls travels back through time to converse (in song) with a colourful cast of political philosophers, including Plato, Locke, Rousseau and Mill. But the journey is not as smooth as he hoped: for as he pursues his love interest, the beautiful student Fairness, through history, he must escape the evil designs of his libertarian arch-nemesis, Robert Nozick, and the objectivist seductress, Ayn Rand. Will Rawls achieve his goal of defining Justice as Fairness?
The world’s first feature-length musical about political philosophy showcases a script steeped in drama, humour and romance - with a musical score that covers everything from rap battles to power ballads.
Based on the ground-breaking philosophical book "A Theory of Justice" (1971), this exciting new musical was met with critical acclaim when it opened in Oxford in 2013. Philosopher Nigel Warburton called it "brilliant: hilarious witty and profound... I cried with laughter for most of two hours!"
