The Great Gatsby: A One-Man Performance

Literature to Life adapts F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic work as the newest title in their Signature Performance series. The Great Gatsby takes place on Long Island and New York City in the early 20th century, at the height of the Jazz Age and the Prohibition Era. The novel touches on the treatment of different social classes, “old money” vs. “new money” ideology, gender, race, environmentalism and the price of the American Dream.
