Nic wants a seachange. She’s fled Sydney to take up a job at the local library, but the ‘quiet life’ is proving a little more complicated than she hoped. The staff are set in their ways, the customers defy classification and management are already asking her to make cuts.
Her only ally is Pauly, the elderly library hermit who knows every page in every book by heart. But he’s rapidly losing his ability to read …Can Nic find a way to help him and save the library from itself? Does the library even need saving?
From the award-winning minds at The Corinthian Food Store, Public Access is a new work set in an actual library about the role of public spaces in our increasingly privatised society. It’s about the places we go to be seen and heard, and who gets to decide what matters.
