Television and film star D.B. Sweeney stars as the fireman Montag in a new adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic novel, "Fahrenheit 451," penned by the author himself.

Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper burns, a fitting moniker for a dark tale about the illiterate 24th century when all reading is forbidden. Guy Montag is a book-incinerating fireman who, in the line of duty, meets an idealistic teenager and her grandfather. They teach Montag the pleasures of intellectual freedom, driving him apart from his wife, his friends and his boss and ultimately putting his life in danger. Tickets are $25-$37.50. The Falcon Theatre is located at 4252 Riverside Drive in Burbank and on the web at http://www.falcontheatre.com. For reservations, call (818) 955-8101.
