Remember the Roaring 20s? A time of partying, speakeasies, and excellent fashion.
Well, welcome to the 2020s, a time of sweatpants, livestreams, and political chaos.
"@The_Great_Gatsby2020" explores the American classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald 100 years later. Through the eyes of Nick Carraway (and his telehealth therapist), watch the world of Gatsby reimagined as an online community of livestreamers. Gatsby and Nick build their brand as gamers while Daisy Buchanan raises her children with her husband Tom on a family vlog. Celebrity gossip, money, and online fame threaten Gatsby and Nick’s new American dream as they pursue the “green light.”
Written by Kat Abdallah and directed by Koda Saunders, Rainy Day Artistic Collective is showcasing the world premiere of “@The_Great_Gatsby2020” for our Fall Virtual Mainstage.
