An unforgettable theatrical and literary marathon

One morning in the office of a mysterious small business, an employee finds a copy of The Great Gatsby in the clutter of his desk. He starts to read it out loud and can’t stop. Before long, the entire novel is unfolding around him, word for word, as his coworkers get swept into the story.

Created by the acclaimed American theatre company Elevator Repair Service, this eight-hour theatrical feat (yes, there are breaks!) brings to life Fitzgerald’s entire masterpiece including all his iconic characters, in the most unexpected setting.

Hailed as “astonishing” and “mesmerising”, Gatz breathes fresh resonance into this classic in a theatrical and literary marathon like no other.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the beloved Gatz, which has been wowing critics and filling theatres around the world since its triumphant premiere. This is landmark contemporary theatre by one of America’s most daring companies.

“The most remarkable achievement in theatre not only of this year but also of this decade.”
