PENNY & POUND THEATRE PRESENTS … THE GREAT GATSBY
By F. Scott Fitzgerald | Adapted by Melissa Ruegg
In the summer of 1922, the shimmering world of Long Island’s Gold Coast is alive with jazz, champagne, and whispered secrets. Into this glittering landscape arrives Nick Carraway, a young man drawn into the lavish parties and restless dreams of his enigmatic neighbour: the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. As Nick becomes entangled in the lives of Gatsby, the beautiful and elusive Daisy Buchanan, and the jaded aristocrats of East Egg, he witnesses a story of obsessive love, reckless ambition, and moral decay behind the glittering façade of the American Dream. Gatsby’s relentless pursuit of a perfect past collides with the harsh realities of the present, leading to betrayal, heartbreak, and tragedy. This stage adaptation captures the elegance and excess of the Jazz Age with a streamlined, intimate focus on the novel’s most poignant moments. Against a backdrop of glittering parties and crumbling illusions, The Great Gatsby explores timeless questions of identity, longing, and the price of dreams deferred.
