| Show Info | F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s beloved classic comes to life as a radio broadcast in this spirited adaptation of The Great Gatsby. An ensemble brings more than two dozen characters from the novel to life. The story of triumph and tragedy reflects the dizzying decadence of the Jazz Age and the perils of affluence, desire and the American Dream. |
