Stangs on Stage presents a fresh take on the great American novel.
The party is over and the glasses are empty. Nick Carraway has one last thing to do before he leaves New York for good: face Jordan Baker, the friend he walked away from. As the two of them try to make sense of the summer of 1922, the past comes flooding back. There are Jay Gatsby's glittering parties, his impossible love for Daisy Buchanan, and the wealthy, reckless people who "smashed up things and creatures" and let others clean up the mess.
A shape-shifting ensemble becomes servants, partygoers, gossips and gangsters. A toy car, a string of pearls and a green light carry the weight of memory. It's the story you know from English class, told by the people who were left behind.
Content advisory: This production includes alcohol use and drunkenness, racist views expressed by a character, infidelity, and domestic violence, including an onstage assault with stage blood. There are also references to violent deaths (a hit-and-run, a shooting and a suicide), which are mostly described rather than shown. A recorded gunshot and siren are used. Recommended for ages [12+].
