“Library Lion,” based on one of Time Magazine’s 100 , best Children’s books of all time, by Michelle Knudsen. The musical play features a cast of five actors and three puppeteers who operate a puppet designed and built by Jim Henson’s Little Creature Shop with live music. Directed by award winning director, Ran Bechor.
After all spots of the inaugural show as a site-specific play at Boston Public Library have been taken – Adam Theater is proud to present for the first time in the USA the 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.
Playwright & Lyrics by Eli Bijaoui, Award winning Director Ran Bechor, Music by Yoni Rechter.
