Young Harvard professor John Rawls needs a grand theory to set his philosophy students on the right path to politics. When physicists accidentally open a Time Vortex, this presents the perfect opportunity for Rawls to gain inspiration from the great philosophers of the past: Plato and his ventriloquist doll Socrates, the rap-battling gangs of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, revolutionary rocker Jean-Jacques Roussseau, a barbershop quartet of Utilitarians, and many more.

As he pursues the bright and tenacious 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?

A Theory of Justice: the Musical premiered at Oxford University in 2013 where it broke box office records before transferring to the  Edinburgh Fringe that year, where it received the endorsement of John Rawls' own daughter, Liz, who described it as "perfect", A revised version of the show received a semi-staged workshop in London's Arts Theatre in the West End with a stellar cast directed by the award-winning Josh Seymour. An album was recorded with this cast, released in 2019. The show is now available for professional and amateur licensing around the world.
