Support Your Local Library

A two-hander by Black Liver

Premiered October 2023

Library is a love letter to libraries — and to the written word itself.

This warm, witty two-hander celebrates the power of books, stories and shared spaces, and the way they shape who we are. Through a joyful mix of songs, sketches and poetry, Ruth and Keith (AKA Black Liver) deliver a laugh-out-loud show full of sentimentality, silliness and sharp satire.

From whispered secrets between the shelves to the quiet rebellion of borrowing a book, Library shines a light on these much-loved public spaces and the people who inhabit them. Playful, heartfelt and gently anarchic, the show invites audiences to reconnect with the magic hiding in plain sight.

By the end, you may never look at your local library the same way again.
