Ray Bradbury News

The late Ray Bradbury wrote the classic sci-fi drama "Mars is Heaven" in 1947 as a short story for a magazine he edited. He later adapted it for radio in 1954, and then in 1992, set it for television. This exciting tale about the first manned spacecraft to land on the "red planet" still holds its relevance through the ages of human imagining. Bradbury's philosophy viewed the future of space travel with awe and fear. In this production, we search the face of Mars to see if there are beings hidden among the craters, and if so, are they friendly or not? California Stage presents this work tonight, August 22, 2012 to commemorate Ray Bradbury's first birthday away from this planet.
