The truth unfolds: the world premiere of Scott Z. Burns’ The Library begins performances off-Broadway at The Public Theater on March 25. The drama, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh and starring Chloë Grace Moretz, will open officially on April 15 and run through April 27.
The Library tells the story of Caitlin Gabriel (Moretz), a survivor of a deadly high school shooting. She struggles to tell her story to her parents, the authorities or anyone who will listen. But there are other narratives that gain purchase in the media and paint her in a different light. The play asks us to examine our relationship to the truth and the lies that claim to heal us.
Moretz will be joined by Emmy nominee Lili Taylor, Tony nominee Jennifer Westfeldt, Ben Livingston, Michael O’Keefe, Daryl Sabara, David Townsend and Tamara Tunie.
