Synopsis:
There are books in the library. And also very clear rules: No shouting. No running. No "food and drink." But what happens when a lion enters the library one day? He doesn't roar or go wild; contrary to expectations, he joins storytelling time and fights with librarians... Not everyone finds this acceptable; it's certainly not "by the book" (Excuse me? A lion? In the library? – That is completely out of order!) It will also be revealed that while it is important to keep rules, it is equally important to shake off the dust from them now and then.
Reviews:
"A wonderful show of the rare kind where it is unclear who it delights more: parents or children. What is clear is that it leaves everyone with a big smile on their faces. Don't miss it!"
— Shay Bar-Yaacov, Yedioth Ahronoth
"Great fun! The play turns into a real happening... For parents, this is an opportunity to discover that even in children's shows they can encounter excellent actors."
— Miriam Katz, Yedioth Ahronoth
