Wheaton High School Presents Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451
Wheaton High School’s Drama Club invites you to their upcoming performance of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. The dystopian drama’s subject matter, satire, and grim, yet hopeful outlook for the future provides the perfect opportunity for our community to examine the world around us critically.

SYNOPSIS “Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites. Fahrenheit 451 reveals a future where intelligence is scorned; as a result, books are banned and burned. This powerful drama is about the inner struggle of Guy Montag, a fireman. Montag has worked as a civil servant for ten years burning books, but lately has become increasingly unsure about what she is doing, becoming more and more aware of her vegetable-like existence. It is not until she meets 16-year-old Clarisse, who is filled with strange ideas, that she is led into a dangerous and highly combustible situation. Now she must choose between continuing her nonexistent existence and risking everything for the right to think freely.” -Dramatic Publishing
