The Great Gatsby

ADG-Europe will present ''THE GREAT GATSBY'' by F. Scott Fitzgerald at the Uptown Theaatre in Geneva. The performance will be in english. Nick Carraway, a young man from Minnesota, moves to New York in the summer of 1922, and gradually becomes friends with a mysterious man named Jay Gatsb, who lives in a gigantic Gothic mansion and throws extravagant parties. Nick is drawn into a world of new money, decadence and deception... The obvious contemporary relevance is made clear in this exciting new stage adaptation by Leo Benedict. Filled with live and evocative jazz music from the twenties, this production recreates the glitz and decadence of the period. The tense and absorbing drama is played out to its dramatic climax by a cast of five actors fast-paced, visually evocative and highly theatrical. ADGE has been touring exciting and original stage productions throughout the world for 40 years. The company has gained a reputation for engaging and enthralling audiences young and old and we are delighted to have the opportunity of presenting this american classic.
