Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper catches fire.Guy Montag has spent ten years as a fireman, and in his world that means setting the blazes rather than putting them out. Books are the fuel. It's steady work and an easy life, and lately it has started to feel like no life at all — a numbness Montag can't quite name until he meets Clarisse, a neighbor who's full of odd questions and stranger ideas. What she stirs up in him turns dangerous fast. Montag has to choose: keep drifting through an existence that barely qualifies as one, or risk everything for the right to think for himself.
Ray Bradbury adapted his own 1953 novel for the stage, and this October, director Lowry Browning brings it to CCA's black box theater. Seventy years on, this story still lands with unsettling force.
"An incredibly relevant and prophetic adaptation of a classic novel." — David Longford, The Royal Company, Nottingham, England.
Doors open a half hour before the show.
