  3. Farenheit Ammonite on Stage in Tasmania

    Look what I discovered today:

    Acclaimed company Here Theatre has returned with an ensemble of Tasmanian and Victorian theatre makers to develop Fahrenheit Ammonite, a world bending new play by Kit Lazaroo, directed by Dr Jane Woollard. Critics have long admired Lazaroo’s work, calling it “first rate, sometimes clever, sometimes truly inspired”, and “an exemplary demonstration of how theatre can be political and contemporary without being didactic or simplistic” […] The play draws inspiration from Fahrenheit 451, Richard Adams’s Watership Down, and Nicola Griffith’s Ammonite. Lazaroo began the script as a retelling of Bradbury’s novel from Mildred’s perspective, imagining how she might resist the limitations imposed upon her by her creator, and what text she might choose as her own reason to survive. Into Mildred’s journey Lazaroo has woven Clover the Rabbit, and later the endangered Goth from the Planet Jeep, creating a tapestry of voices that challenge, subvert, and expand the canon. — University of Tasmania

    So, huh. Not sure what to make of that. Except…cool? Even cooler if they sent me a video. (Just saying, Utas, and Here Theatre.)

    The world is a strange place…

  5. A quotation from Ray Bradbury

    There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist / Unitarian, Irish / Italian / Octogenarian / Zen Buddhist, Zionist / Seventh-day Adventist, Women’s Lib / Republican, Mattachine / Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain-porridge unleavened literature licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme.

    Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American writer, futurist, fabulist
    Fahrenheit 451, “Coda” Afterword (1979 ed.)

  20. #RayBradbury Reveals the True Meaning of #Fahrenheit451: It’s Not About #Censorship, But People “Being Turned Into Morons by #TV

    in Books | August 10th, 2017 9 Comments

    ' 'Fahrenheit 451 is not, he says firmly, a story about government censorship,' wrote the Los Angeles Weekly’s Amy E. Boyle Johnson in 2007. 'Nor was it a response to Senator #Joseph McCarthy, whose investigations had already instilled fear and stifled the creativity of thousands.' Rather, he meant his 1953 novel as 'a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature.' "

  22. Currently reading: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I haven’t picked this up since grade school, but it’s eerie how well Bradbury predicted the future that we are currently living in. #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #books #bookstodon #ReadBannedBooks #currentlyreading

  24. Komiks:
    »[Recenzja] „451 stopni Fahrenheita” Ray Bradbury, Tim Hamilton«

    Wydana w 1953 roku książka Raya Bradbury’ego zalicza się do klasyki dystopijnej literatury science fiction. O ile na pierwszą filmową adaptację widzowie musieli czekać nieco ponad dziesięć lat, gracze komputerowi zdecydowanie dłużej, bo trzydzieści, podobnie jak publiczność teatralna, o tyle wersja komiksowa ukazała się dopiero ponad pół wieku później. Warto w tym miejscu podkreślić, że sam pisarz nie tylko doczekał się ujęcia swojej historii w wersji komiksowej, lecz w pełni ją zaakceptował, czego najlepszym dowodem jest przygotowany na tę okazję wstęp.
