There are books in the library. And very clear rules:
No shouting. No running. And no “food or drink.”
But what happens when one day a lion enters the library?
He does not roar or run wild. Contrary to expectations, he joins story hour and a bookshelf tug-of-war...
Not everyone can handle it. After all, it is not “by the book” (Excuse me? A lion? In the library? That is completely unacceptable!)
It will also become clear that rules are important to follow—but that is not all: It is also very important, every now and then, to shake the dust off them.
The reviews rave:
“A wonderful production of the rare kind where it is unclear whom it delights more—the parents or the children. What is clear is that everyone leaves with a big smile on their face. Don’t miss it!”
— Shay Bar-Yaakov, Yedioth Ahronoth
“A great delight! The play becomes a veritable festival... For parents, it is an opportunity to discover that even in a children’s production, they can encounter excellent actors.”
— Miriam Katz, Yedioth Ahronoth
In order not to disrupt the smooth running of the performance and the enjoyment of the audience, children under the age of 3 and strollers will not be permitted to enter the theater performances. Thank you for your understanding!
