“Library Lion,” based on one of Time Magazine’s 100 Best Children’s Books of All Time by Michelle Knudsen, is a play with live music featuring five actors and three puppeteers who bring to life a lion puppet designed and built by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Adapted for the stage by playwright Eli Bijaoui, with original music composed by Yoni Rechter, and directed by award-winning director Ran Bechor.
Adam Theater is proud to return to the Calderwood for the second time to present their theater adaptation of Library Lion. In the library, there are books. But also very clear rules: no shouting, no running, no eating or drinking. But what happens when one day a lion enters the library? He doesn’t roar or rampage, and contrary to expectations, he peacefully joins storytelling hour. Not everyone is okay with this, after all, he doesn’t abide by the rules. (A lion? In the library? – that’s completely out of order!) It will be revealed that rules are important to follow, but not only that: That it is also very important, here and there, to dust off some of these rule books as well.
