F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel "The Great Gatsby" has been adapted for the stage by playwright Simon Levy. The stage production is directed by Julie Bell Petrak with original music by Christopher Cavaliere.
Based on the 1925 novel, it follows a cast of characters living in Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan.
Considered to be Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, "The Great Gatsby" creates a portrait of the Roaring Twenties and one man’s pursuit of the American Dream.
