Performance in English
For everyone aged 15 and over
A certain Jay Gatsby suddenly appears in New York's high society. No one knows the truth about his past or the source of his enormous wealth. At his estate on Long Island, he organizes legendary parties to which New York's elite are eager to be invited. Nick Carraway, Gatsby's penniless neighbor, watches the goings-on with admiration and bewilderment and eventually learns that Gatsby is only going to all this trouble for one guest, his lost childhood sweetheart Daisy, who, although now married, is still the target of all his desires...
F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece "The Great Gatsby" was published exactly one hundred years ago and has already been made into a film several times. This classic of American literature deals with the emptiness of those who have seemingly achieved everything. The illusion of the "American Dream" is furiously called into question in this play. The boredom of the super-rich and their claim to be above law and order is conveyed in an artistic and exciting way in the White Horse Theatre's version.
