The Great Gatsby

About the show

The glittering excess of the Jazz Age arrives in Cambridge this February as The Great Gatsby takes to the stage at the ADC Theatre.

This stage play version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel transports audiences to the lavish world of the Roaring Twenties, where wealth, ambition and illusion collide. At its heart is the eccentric and mysterious millionaire, Jay Gatsby, who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. As the champagne flows and the parties dazzle, the production exposes the fragility beneath the glamour, interrogating the American Dream and the rigid class structure of 1920s America.
