Storyline
F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby in 1925, inspired by his romance with a wealthy socialite and the roaring galas he was privy to during their relationship. The plot similarly follows the narrator Nick Carraway’s account of his acquaintance with his wealthy and extravagant neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby seems intent on finding a way to reunite with Daisy, his former flame - hosting legendary parties that pulse with jazz and champagne, yet Gatsby himself remains an enigma. But while he hides behind the glow of opulence, the story peels back the tragic reality of his unfulfilled desire.

Really enjoyed the production - only things to point out was there didn't seem to be a cloakroom and if there was it wasn't mentioned so had to take our bags and coats in with us and also the door man who searched our bags was not very personable- almost rude, which was a bit unexpected and unnecessary. Other than those, great evening.
