A Theory of Justice the Musical at C venues, Edinburgh
A Theory of Justice the Musical continues at C venues, Edinburgh until 26 August.
This is a wholly original work from a group of Oxford undergraduates and the packed house (me included) at C venues really enjoyed it. A romp through 2,500 years of philosophy with some cracking songs, a mass of our favourite characters and enough inner wit to make many of the students around me laugh and nod knowingly. I learned loads, so my congratulations to the whole company. I hope the writers will keep working on the show and then submit it to the National Alliance for Musical Theatre or the New York Musical Theatre Festival. I think it may have a great life in New York and in the university circuit of the USA. A bit of tightening would help with the episodic nature (which is inevitable) and something to kick us forward a little way in. And then hopefully they will keep writing new works.
