The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

A stage play based on the novel of the same name

Adapted for the Kreuzgangspiele by Johannes Kaetzler.

In the villas and houses along the shores of a bay, fascinating worlds collide. At the centre of it all stands a fabulously wealthy young man: Jay Gatsby. He is mysterious, a magnet for wild rumours. Why does no one ever get close to him?

Nearby, a young, athletic couple occupy a grand beach villa. Are they really as charming as they appear? Between them sits a small house with a young tenant trying to make his fortune on the stock market. Is he as friendly as he seems? And what about the attractive woman married to a car dealer?

Fate draws all these people together. In a dizzying sequence of events, their secrets are laid bare and a vast panorama of human passion unfolds.

This staging of Fitzgerald's celebrated novel on the Kreuzgang stage is a theatrical spectacle about the roaring twenties - driven by music and raw emotion.
