Inis Nua Theatre Company presents the American premiere of Spine, by English playwright Clara Brennan from February 17 to March 6, 2016, at The Drake (1521 Spruce St). Spine is a heart-warming, funny and defiant love-song to libraries, an increasingly endangered species under Britain's austerity government. A fiery and wise-cracking teenager forges an unlikely friendship with an elderly widow living in a house of stolen books. Together, the two discover they may be each other’s last resort in life. Tickets are $25-30 at (215) 454-9776 or inisnuatheatre.org. Save $5.00 off tickets at the door when you bring a new children’s book to donate to the Free Library of Philadelphia.
