Review

“Library Wars: A Short Play” is sure to get theatre-goers talking about issues of book censorship and public dissent in civic institutions and beyond. David Poyer offers us a thought-provoking small script that’s big enough to tackle both sides of the culture wars.” — Zachary Michael Jack, playwright and drama educator, author of On Script: Dramatic Writing for Stage, Screen, and Streaming

School and public libraries, bastions of free access to information, are threatened. “Library Wars” begins with an ordinary setting: a local library board meeting. Everything’s routine until someone arrives with what might be a weapon, and new members propose banning books with race-oriented, gay, and transsexual themes and characters.
