Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Martyna Majok is set to adapt Ray Bradbury's classic novel Fahrenheit 451 for the stage.

The adaptation is being produced by Glass Half Full Productions, led by Aaron Glick, who is known for acclaimed works such as POTUS and Kimberly Akimbo.

Originally published in 1953, Fahrenheit 451 presents a dystopian future where firemen burn books and punish those who seek knowledge.

Majok has noted that the themes of loneliness and the quest for connection in Fahrenheit 451 resonate deeply in today's society.

Majok, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2018 for her play Cost of Living, brings her sensitivity and talent as a dramatist to this new adaptation.

The Bradbury Estate is enthusiastic about introducing Fahrenheit 451 to a new audience through this theatrical interpretation.

As of now, no specific timeline for the premiere of the adaptation has been announced.

Ray Bradbury, who passed away in 2012, was a prolific author, having written over thirty-six books and more than 500 short stories, including other classics like The Martian Chronicles and Dandelion Wine.
