What readers are saying about Pages:
Sanchez is clearly a poet. Let us hope she is not also a prophet. This is a chilling take on current events and where they may lead. ~~ Laura Lovic-Lindsay, Winner of PennWriters Poetry Award
***
For anyone who cares about the social importance of public libraries, this short play offers an stark, compelling picture of what we stand to lose if meddling politics, a global economy in chaos, and commercial pressures privileging high-tech reading devices continue to hack away at the essential community resource that we perhaps take most for granted. Sanchez’s choice to place these issues inside a futuristic Hunger Games-like thriller promises to grab the attention of young audiences who need to know what the American public library is up against. Pages is also a tale of heroism by those who take desperate measures to protect what we cannot afford to lose. An affecting, thought-provoking fable for our time. ~~Andrew Ade, Playwright
***
Imagine a world without access to knowledge, where librarians are heroes and everyday intellectuals risk their lives protecting the written word. Play write Deb Sanchez examines life in an America without libraries in her short work, Pages: A Library Play. When e-knowledge seizes popular infatuation and funding for libraries fail, a band of courageous people flout dictates against keeping “fire hazard” books. During their biblophilian rescues, they take their lives and freedoms into their own hands. Though the cast is small and the play short, Ms. Sanchez’s words leave her audiences with much to contemplate. ~~ Kerry E.B. Black, Author
***
A riveting examination of what the world might look like without libraries. ~~Breana English, Educator
***
Playwright Debra R. Sanchez presents a dystopian play about the slow death of libraries in Pages, A Library Play. In it, Sanchez explores what might happen if libraries are deemed unnecessary and are forced to close. In a gradual process, libraries become underfunded and books become subjected to censorship committees until libraries are forced to close.
The rush to preserve books and documents before they are lost forever spur on small groups of book lovers who know that if they are caught, the results will be disastrous As one character puts it, “It’s hard to imagine a world without libraries. Even harder to imagine a world without books.”~~Vicki Grey, Writer
