2. The Great Gatsby

By F. Scott Fitzgerald
Adapted for the stage by Simon Levy
Directed by Gavin Mayer

In this 2006 adaptation of one of the greatest American novels, audiences get a glimpse into a defining point in our history. It’s the 1920’s, the age of jazz and women’s independence; when wealth, glamour and decadence ignited public fascination for a fleeting moment in time. Jay Gatsby embraced the era as he set about acquiring all the trappings of a self-made millionaire. His biggest conquest was the young socialite, Daisy. For years, Gatsby is passionate in his pursuit of her love until it all ends tragically in this classic study of American society in the early 20th century.
