𝗔𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻One morning in the office of a mysterious small business, an employee finds a copy of The Great Gatsby in the clutter of his desk. He starts to read it out loud and can’t stop. Before long, the entire novel is unfolding around him, word for word, as his coworkers get swept into the story.
Created by the acclaimed American theatre company Elevator Repair Service, this eight-hour theatrical feat (yes, there are breaks!) brings to life Fitzgerald’s entire masterpiece including all his iconic characters, in the most unexpected setting.
Hailed as “astonishing” and “mesmerising”, Gatz breathes fresh resonance into this classic in a theatrical and literary marathon like no other.
