Drama Fatale Presents Fahrenheit 451 by ray bradbury
(Wednesday 1st - Saturday 4th June, 7:30pm)
‘Is it true that long ago firemen once put fires out instead of starting them?’
Drame Fatale, the company behind Playhouse Creatures (BT, MT15) is bringing the dystopian world of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 to the Pilch studio next term. Set in a not-too-distant future, where owning books is a criminal offence, and firemen make their living burning them, we see Guy Montag, a fireman, struggle to escape the world he has been a part of all his life. Montag has worked as a civil servant for 10 years burning books, but lately he has become increasingly unsure about what he is doing and about his vegetable-like existence. It is not until he meets 16-year-old Clarisse, who is filled with strange ideas, that he is led into a dangerous and highly combustible situation.
