Fahrenheit 451
November 11 – December 3, 2016

By Ray Bradbury

Presented by Different Stages

 

Different Stages opens its 2016-2017 season with Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Set in the twenty-fourth century, Fahrenheit 451 is a gripping tale at once disturbing and poetic about a fireman, Guy Montag, whose job is to start fires to destroy books. He never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family”. But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, whose inquisitive nature and humanist philosophy prompt him to question the emptiness of his life.
