The Great Gatsby
Scar Theatre’s new adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s quintessential Jazz Age novel reveals how the themes of love, loss and social stratification of the Roaring Twenties remain equally relevant today. Casting Gatsby as a woman and queering the central love story, Scar Theatre offer a bold reinterpretation that explores gender, class and ambition in an intoxicating world of wealth and illusion. This thrilling adaptation remains faithful to Fitzgerald’s text and original themes while breathing new life and meaning into the flamboyant story, reminding audiences simultaneously of how far we’ve come, and how much further we have to go to achieve true equality.
