Literature to Life adapts F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic work as their newest title in their Signature Performance series!
The Great Gatsby takes place on Long Island and New York City in the early twentieth century, at the height of the Jazz Age and the Prohibition Era. The novel touches on the treatment of different social classes: “old money” versus “new money” ideology, gender, race, environmentalism, and the price of the American Dream.
Based on the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Adapted and directed by Kelvin Grullon. Performed by Bryce Foley.
