A librarian unpacks his lovely evidences and gives a lecture about his travels. 

His obsession to collect the fine on a library book returned after 123 years

turns into a blissfully ludicrous vision quest, outrageously funny, madly literate... 

The clues surface and mount, tease and taunt, and reveal a mystery that transcends the ages.

 

“...This curiously funny drama of life’s most curious stuff is not to be missed.”—New York Times

 

“...one of a handful of great plays written in the last five years...

it’s an astonishingly beautiful piece of writing...”—Seattle Weekly

 

“...a stunner, a Tom Stoppard look-alike if ever there was one...

with a spiritual sensitivity that extends the Librarian’s search for an alternate truth to Everyman.”—LA Times

 

“...stunningly funny, moving and...required viewing...”—Post and Courier, Charleston
