![]() ![]() ![]() Cue a madcap voyage through philosophical history as Rawls encounters, questions, and debates intellectual giants such as Plato, Rousseau, and Kant on his search for both the student Fairness and the inspiration for his magnum opus. “Opening in 1970s Harvard,” wrote critic Gavin Elias, “the play centers on Rawls’… quixotic quest to revitalise political philosophy with an encompassing ‘theory of justice.’ Inspired (and aroused) by a beautiful student…with a penchant for eminent philosophers, he sets out to establish that ‘justice is fairness,’ only to see his newly found muse/love-interest sucked into a time vortex that bursts into being in the college quad. “Whilst I may not be convinced of John Rawls’ theory of justice,” wrote reviewer Robert Holtom, “I am more than convinced that the musical version was utterly brilliant-the energy, ingenuity, and intelligence was there from the start, accompanied by a catchy score, some exceptional singing, and even some philosophical jokes.” ![]()
