The Great Gatsby 2015/2016 UK Tour

Blackeyed Theatre's world premiere production of The Great Gatsby, adapted by Stephen Sharkey from F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece of American literature. Touring across the UK from September 2015, and produced in association with South Hill Park and Eastbourne Theatres, The Great Gatsby is brought to life in this sizzling new stage adaptation from nationally acclaimed Blackeyed Theatre. Recreating the sights, sounds and feel of America’s ‘Roaring Twenties’ as seen through the eyes of Nick Carraway, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s landmark work is a brilliant evocation of a society obsessed with wealth and status. Adapted by Stephen Sharkey, whose work includes The May Queen (Liverpool Everyman) and The Resistible Rise Of Arturo Ui (Liverpool Playhouse/Nottingham Playhouse), this exciting new production features fabulous live music alongside the timeless language of Fitzgerald’s ‘Great American Novel’ to create a truly fresh and inspiring theatrical experience. Come immerse yourself in the decadence of America’s ‘Jazz Age’. Come join the party, old sport! All music featured in this trailer is arranged by Ellie Verkerk, combining "Baby Won’t You Please Come Home" by Charles Warfield and Clarence Williams (1923) and "Somebody Stole My Gal" by Leo Wood (1918), and it is performed by members of the cast (Vocals: Celia Cruwys-Finnigan).
