About the show

Welcome to The Jazz Age: a fever dream of dizzying excess where love, lies and liquor are in hot supply. Late to this glittering party arrives Nick Carraway, a blow-in from the mid-West, who's immediately drawn to the enigmatic playboy next door: Jay Gatsby. Every Saturday night New York's Flappers, Freeloaders and Pleasure Seekers swill from Gatsby's generosity while rumours swirl about their mysterious host. F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece comes roaring to the stage in a stylish and scintillating adaptation by Daniel Evans and Nelle Lee, presented by Queensland Theatre and Shake & Stir Theatre Co.
