The Great Gatsby [2025]

Derby Theatre

Synopsis

A sparkling new adaptation which brings F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic characters and vivid imagery to life set against the backdrop of the glitzy and glamourous Jazz Age. Set in the summer of 1922, this gripping story unfolds in the West Egg district of Long Island. Nick Carraway has moved from the Midwest and soon meets his neighbour the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish parties every night in his opulent mansion to entertain the rich and famous. A self-made millionaire with a mysterious past, Gatsby is desperate to reunite with his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. A bond forms between Nick and Gatsby, revealing a poignant story of unfulfilled dreams and the relentless pursuit of an impossible happiness. As the story continues, we witness Gatsby’s passionate quest for Daisy, entangled with themes of love, betrayal, and the American Dream. Daisy, torn between Gatsby and her husband Tom, a man of wealth and infidelity, faces heart-wrenching choices that culminate in a tragic finale. One of literature’s most enduring masterpieces, The Great Gatsby captures a world where dreams are grand, yet fleeting, and every moment is a step towards an inevitable reckoning
