Summary/Abstract: A review of Fahrenheit 451 directed by Marcin Liber and staged at Wybrzeże Theater in Gdańsk (premiere: 6.02.2016). The main subject of the article is the allusions and borrowings from literature which are woven into the play. The two main points of reference are Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's 1984. The text also highlights issues of the postmodern communication impasse, which the play's creators have added to the dystopian image of the world that emerges from the original novel.
