“Library Lion,” based on one of Time Magazine’s 100 Best Children’s Books of All Time by Michelle Knudsen, had its inaugural show premiere as a site-specific theater production at the Boston Public Library. The musical play features a cast of five actors, three musicians and three puppeteers operating a puppet designed by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
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 to dust off some of these rule books as well.
Prepare for a theatrical experience that will roar its way into your heart. Don’t miss this enchanting adaptation, where stories come alive and where even the wildest of guests might just find a place to belong.
Directed by award-winning director Ran Bechor, with playwright and lyrics by Eli Bijaoui and music by Yoni Rechter.
