“Native actors, fast-paced music, visually evocative and highly theatrical performance”
Published in 1925, four years before the catastrophic collapse of the American stock markets, Fitzgerald’s novel graphically portrays a society destroyed by money and dishonesty—an American Dream of happiness and individualism degenerating into the mere pursuit of wealth. Leo Benedict’s exciting new stage adaptation makes the contemporary relevance clear. This production recreates the glitz and decadence of the period, filled with live and evocative jazz music from the twenties. The tense and absorbing drama is played out to its dramatic climax by a cast of five actors; the performance is fast-paced, visually evocative and highly theatrical.
