Fahrenheit 451 at South Bend Civic Theatre

Fahrenheit 451 takes us to a world where books are burned, ideas are feared, and firemen make fires. In this 24th century drama Guy Montag, a young fireman, enjoys his job of setting illegally-owned books and the homes of their owners on fire. But after seeing a woman willing to die for her books he begins to have an intense personal struggle about these books and what they might contain that is so dangerous. Written just after World War II, and in the same vein as Animal Farm and 1984, Fahrenheit 451 will thrill you and chill you.
