F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, passionately pursues the elusive Daisy Buchanan. Nick Carraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into their world of obsession, greed and danger. The breathtaking glamour and decadent excess of the Jazz Age come to the stage in Simon Levy's epic adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. This is America, the Jazz Age, a land of enchantment and illusions, a world where love and dreams are pursued and betrayed.
