“I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.”
It’s 1929. The Roaring Twenties are flickering out, and the shadow of the Great Depression creeps ever closer. Inside a smoky cabaret bar, a troupe of performers take the stage for their final performance: the rise and fall of the legendary Gatsby.
As the story unfolds, we watch as the performers, who, in becoming entangled in Gatsby’s pathological pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, learn the ultimate cost of unattainable dreams.
OVO’s brand-new adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless narrative brings the glamour, decadence, and tragedy of the Jazz Age to the Roman Theatre. Featuring a live Jazz pianist underscoring this ensemble-led production, be prepared to be immersed in the hedonistic roaring 20’s world of excess, fantasy, and “the great American dream”.
