“Fahrenheit 451,” by Ray Bradbury, directed by Dado, has public performances on Steppenwolf’s Mainstage on two Saturdays, Oct. 19, and 26, at 11 a.m. Tickets are $10.
In a future where the written word is forbidden, firemen are paid to burn books instead of fighting fires. For years Fireman Guy Montag blindly follows the orders of the totalitarian government. One day, after a chance encounter with a 17-year-old girl, Montag begins to read the books he burns and to question the life he leads. Written in 1953, this American classic is still as relevant and important today as it was when it was first written. For tickets call (312) 335-1650. |
