'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, presented by This is My Theatre
The glamour of ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald comes to life in this open-air theatre production by This is My Theatre.
Saturday 1st August 2026
Step into the roaring 1920s, where the champagne flows, the jazz trumpet blows, and the American Dream gleams with irresistible allure. This electrifying stage adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless novel brings Jay Gatsby’s glittering world to life — a place of opulence, obsession, and heartbreak. As Nick Carraway is drawn into the orbit of his mysterious neighbour, the secrets behind Gatsby’s lavish parties begin to unravel, revealing a story of love lost and illusion pursued.
Featuring live music and a dynamic ensemble, This Is My Theatre’s adaptation invites audiences to experience one of literature’s best-loved stories like never before — glamorous, grandiose and undeniably… Great.
Pack your picnic, bring your chairs or blanket, and don't forget to dress for the weather (1920s costumes are welcome!).
