The Great Gatsby
Key Players with C theatre
Fitzgerald’s classic is re-imagined for the Edinburgh Fringe in a bold,
multi-perspective adaptation that shatters the myth of the American
Dream. Told through shifting viewpoints, the story unfolds in dynamic
vignettes seamlessly stitched together. An immersive party atmosphere
give ways to moments of raw intimacy, revealing the contradictions,
illusions and social barriers that drive – and destroy – its characters.
As desire, wealth and identity collide, the pace builds relentlessly
toward the devastating deaths of three central figures, exposing the
true cost of dreaming too big.
