Tacoma Little Theatre takes you back to The Jazz Age with its production of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, THE GREAT GATSBY, with direction by Dale Westgaard.
Considered by many to be the Great American Novel, The Great Gatsby is at once titillating, fascinating and shocking in its portrayal of The Jazz Age that was soon to disappear from the American landscape. In this first authorized adaptation since 1926, Simon Levy brings the humor, irony, pathos and loveliness of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s American classic to the stage. Navigate the languid atmosphere of wealth and privilege with Nick Carraway as he observes the glittering, elaborate parties of his neighbor, the infamous and illusive Jay Gatsby. The Great Gatsby’s sharp depiction of the “American Dream” resonates anew for each generation.
