Thomas Moschopoulos
Fahrenheit 451
Based on the stage adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s novel
Ever since he established himself as artistic co-director of Amore Theatre several years ago to his current tenure as director of Porta Theatre, Thomas Moschopoulos remains one of the most formidable Greek directors of his generation. Having directed numerous Greek actors over the years, Moschopoulos has several plays, operas and children’s theatre productions under his belt. Following last year’s brilliant stage adaptation of Kafka’s The Trial, this year Moschopoulos presents Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, as adapted by Bradbury himself.
The play is set in a dystopian totalitarian regime, where books are routinely destroyed. From pursuer of the dissidents, the main hero becomes a dissident himself after experiencing the clandestine world of books. How can he break through the nightmarish face of totalitarianism? Is it possible that by claiming the right to ‘personal reading’ he can create cracks in the system?
