FAHRENHEIT 451 What happens when books burn—and with them, the freedom to think? Ray Bradbury’s searing masterpiece Fahrenheit 451 blazes to life on the Bay Street Theater stage in a gripping new production directed by Stephen Hamilton. In a future where firemen start fires instead of extinguishing them, one man begins to question everything he’s been taught. Torn between duty and conscience, his awakening sparks a dangerous rebellion that feels as urgent today as when the story was first written. This haunting and timely adaptation explores what happens to a society that silences ideas. Written in 1953, Bradbury’s cautionary tale continues to resonate powerfully in an era of censorship, disinformation, and shifting truths. Fahrenheit 451 promises an unforgettable night of thought-provoking theater—an experience that challenges us to consider how far we’ll go to protect the power of words. With major support from:
