A Festival 451 Indy event brought to you by the Ray Bradbury Center.

On the occasion of the centenary of Kurt Vonnegut’s birth, Fringe veteran Todd Wronski presents a portrait of one of the 20th century’s great writers using Vonnegut’s own unique spoken and written words. Using his tongue-in-cheek system for analysing the structure of stories, the audience is led through the many stories contained in his life’s biography, including an Indiana upbringing, experiencing World War Two (surviving the firebombing of Dresden as a prisoner of war), his breakthrough as a fiction writer and his long life as a commentator and faithful Pall Mall smoker.
