Black Liver presents

Support Your Local Library

This 'Gothic Pub Rock Opera' takes you on a twisted musical journey to the nouveau riche town of Little Hope and its image-obsessed occupants and how the arrival of the new librarian disturbs the lives of the townsfolk; inspiring the youth but offending the town's ruling elite. Using songs, stories and (a bit of) poetry, Black Liver have created a laugh out loud musical satire about love, literacy, class and how we all worry about looking like a prat to others.
