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! Can they save the library and themselves before it’s too late? From the team behind Spy Movie: The Play! (Fringe sell-out show 2024 and 2025) comes a brand new, laugh-out-loud state of the nation farce for the whole family.
