The Great Gatsby - The Play (Presented by CK Productions Main Stage)
SUMMARY:
The world-famous novel, THE GREAT GATSBY, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is nowadapted for the stage by Simon Levy.
THE GREAT GASTBY tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, passionately pursues the elusive Daisy Buchanan. Nick Carraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into their world of obsession, greed and danger. The breathtaking glamour and decadent excess of the Jazz Age come to the stage in F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, and in Simon Levy's adaptation, approved by the Fitzgerald Estate.
"Playwright Simon Levy does a beautiful job of distilling Fitzgerald's sometimes fussy prose. Levy's combination of narration, dialogue and action delivers most of what is best in the novela brilliant distillation." Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
"A clean, imaginative and sometimes surreal work." Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
"By the end of the evening, there was a longing to see it again. And then againThis adaptation by Simon Levy clearly understood that Fitzgerald's words are sacred and can't be improved upon. What was added, deleted or changed to adapt the story to the stage was so faithful to Fitzgerald that it became seamlessExpectations were far exceeded." Arizona Daily Star.
