Can you repeat the past? Of course you can, Old Sport.
Welcome to The Jazz Age: a fever dream of dizzying excess where love, lies and liquor are in hot supply.
Late to this glittering party arrives Nick Carraway, a blow-in from the mid-West, who's immediately drawn to the enigmatic playboy next door: Jay Gatsby. Every Saturday night New York's Flappers, Freeloaders and Pleasure Seekers swill from Gatsby's generosity while rumours swirl about their mysterious host.
Is he a racketeer? A mobster? A bootlegger? A saint? Nick soon discovers the forlorn Gatsby is a man who has everything he wants - except the only woman he's ever loved .. Daisy.
Considered to be one of the greatest novels ever written, F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece comes roaring to the stage in a stylish and scintillating adaptation where dreams shimmer then shatter, hearts beat achingly out of time and everyone's chasing their own green light.
Queensland Theatre Company and nationally-acclaimed homegrown heroes Shake & Stir Theatre Co, spirit you away to that elusive gin-soaked Summer of 1922 where love and longing is served on the rocks. From the creative teams that brought you Pride & Prejudice, A Few Good Men, Frankenstein, A Christmas Carol and GRIMM, alongside a cast of rising stars, this Gatsby is shaken, not stirred.
