THEATRE: The Great Gatsby - Villanova Players

Title: The Great Gatsby

Presented By: Villanova Players

Genre: Drama

Synopsis: In celebration of its 100th anniversary, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel The Great Gatsby comes to life on stage in this adaptation by Simon Levy. Set in the dazzling world of the Roaring Twenties, the play transports audiences to the extravagant parties of Broadway starlets, gangsters, bootleggers, and jazz musicians in New York City and Long Island during the summer of 1922.

At the heart of it all stands the enigmatic Jay Gatsby—an Oxford scholar? A war hero? An heir? Or perhaps a shady underworld figure? As the mystery unfolds, love, ambition, and obsession collide in this timeless tale of the American Dream.
