The Librarians: A Very Serious Comedy! is a brand new laugh-out-loud state of the nation farce from Cabbage Productions, presented in association with Pleasance at Pleasance Two. The staff at Plumstanton Library are clinging to tradition as the shelves collapse around them: the roof leaks, the stacks are bare, and they haven't issued a new library card in years. When a new head librarian arrives and they learn the building could be condemned and sold, panic spreads fast. From the team behind Spy Movie: The Play!, this is a comedy for the whole family. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Tickets start from £8.50.
Why see this show?
A farce about a library under threat has an obvious topicality that the show wears lightly. The team have proven form with crowd-pleasing Fringe comedy, and the Pleasance Two is the right room for it.
