Sydney Writers' Festival 2010

‘One of those I-WAS-THERE productions people will talk about for many, many years.’ The Bulletin, Philadelphia

The Great Gatsby comes to life on stage. A hit on the international festival circuit, Gatz is the extraordinary stage version of Fitzgerald's masterpiece.

A low-rent office. A mysterious business. An employee picks up a copy of The Great Gatsby. He opens the book. Reads it aloud and can’t stop! By a strange sort of magic, amid files and office furnishings, his co-workers morph into Jazz Age denizens of New York high society; reliving parties, chasing dreams, re-enacting the plot. A six-hour tour de force with a cast of 13, this is NOT a reworking of the novel, but a reading of the entire book - ingeniously brought to life by one of America’s most exciting theatre companies.

Gatz is presented by Sydney Opera House in association with Sydney Writers' Festival.
