Gatz
Noel Coward Theatre London
GATZ
One morning in the shabby office of a mysterious small business, an employee discovers in the clutter on his desk a copy of The Great Gatsby. As he starts to read it out loud his coworkers hardly notice. As he continues to read there are a number of strange coincidences, and it's no longer clear whether he's reading the book or if the book is transforming him. 8 hours long and with a cast of 13, Gatz is by far the New-York-based Elevator Repair Service Theatre Company's most ambitious project yet, this is not a retelling of the Gatsby story but an enactment of the novel itself. Fitzgerald's American masterpiece is delivered word for word, startlingly brought to life by low-rent office staff in the midst of their inscrutable business operations. The performance schedule of Gatz is as follows: Act 1 2 hours and 5 minutes Interval 15 minutes Act 2 1 hour and 15 minutes Long Interval 1 hour and 15 minutes Act 3 1 hour and 25 minutes Interval 15 minutes Act 4 1 hour and 30 minutes |
