3 More Chances to See WBHS Production of 'Brave New World'
The play, based on the classic novel by Aldous Huxley, will be performed Friday and twice on Saturday. Here's what you need to know.
The West Bloomfield High School Theatre Arts program’s fall production, “Brave New World,” opens Thursday, Nov. 5, and ends with two performances on Saturday, Nov. 7.
The dramatic play by David Rogers, based on the novel of the same name by Aldous Huxley, vividly displays a frightening future dystopia. In a world ruled by conformity and an endless pursuit of pleasure, a new morality has been defined.
The play is set in the future where mindless happiness is universal; where babies are not born but decanted from bottles; where human frustrations are eliminated by happiness drugs.
