Spine by Inis Nua Theatre Company

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.
