Repertory East Playhouse (Newhall, CA)
Even Robin Leach would be gobsmacked by the extravagant excesses of Jay Gatsby, a man so wealthy, so driven and so racked with feeling, the epithet “Great” feels insufficient. Like Hamlet or Holden Caulfield, Gatsby seems to reflect deep truths about what it means to be human. No wonder he keeps popping up, dressed to the nines and totally mysterious, first in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, and later in movie adaptations starring Robert Redford (1974) and Leonardo DiCaprio (2013). Now he appears on stage in a sparkling adaptation from Simon Levy. In this portrait of Roaring ’20s decadence, Nick Carraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into a world of danger when he falls in with Gatsby, an enigmatic millionaire pursuing the married Daisy Buchanan. See event description for more details about this glittering production from Repertory East Playhouse.
