One Man Show About a Librarian — Under the Lintel

In case you didn’t realize it, you don’t have to be a Hamlet, a Willy Loman, or a Hedda Gabler to be worthy of a full-length play–you can be a librarian.

Actor Richard Schiff plays a Dutch librarian whose nearly anonymous job consists of handling the books returned through the overnight slot. The plot thickens when a book dropped through the slot is found to have been overdue for 113 years. Read more in this excellent review of the one-man show (now on the road in Central New Jersey) that recently closed off-Broadway, “Under the Lintel.”
