This play is directed by Dr. Kathleen Downs, CF associate professor of Theatre, and presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc. in New York. The story is about Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, who passionately pursues the elusive Daisy Buchanan. Nick Caraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into their world of obsession, greed and danger. The breathtaking glamour and decadent excess of the 1920s Jazz Age come to the stage in this retelling of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel.
