Fahrenheit 451: the temperature at which paper ignites and books burn. And that is precisely what the firemen do, in Ray Bradbury's classic novel of the future, FAHRENHEIT 451. They burn books. It is a crime, in this society, to own or read books. Trivial information is good, and knowledge is evil. People receive all of their culture and information through television walls that are built into their houses.

Join us for ShenanArts' dramatized stage reading of this brilliant story, a work perhaps even more meaningful today than when it was published in 1953.
