Producers of critically acclaimed immersive show The Great Gatsby have announced a further extension until 29 August 2021.

Created and directed by Alexander Wright, the show has recently been forced to close its doors once again due to London’s Tier 3 restrictions, with no further performances planned until the capital enters Tier 2 or below.

During the first lockdown, Olivier Award-winning producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook re-imagined and re-set the production as an Art Deco Masquerade Ball, with audience members wearing compulsory face coverings to complement their fabulous attire.

Craig Hamilton currently plays ‘Gatsby’, alongside Lucinda Turner as ‘Daisy’, James Lawrence as ‘Nick’, Dean Graham as ‘Tom’, Lucas Jones as ‘George’, Ivy Corbin as ‘Jordan’, MJ Lee as ‘Myrtle’, Hugh Stubbins as ‘Rosy Rosenthal’, Aimee Barrett as ‘Lucille’ and Alex Wingfield as ‘Joey’.

Hartshorn and Hook said: “100 years ago our society came out of a pandemic and into the "Roaring '20s", so it feels fitting that The Great Gatsby should be leading the fightback for the creative sector after Covid-19. Immersive LDN also hosts Doctor Who in an adjoining building, making it the world's first ever multiplex immersive theatre facility. We're very proud of the experience we are giving to our audiences, and of the fact that these productions provide stable employment for well over 100 people, including many freelancers, at a challenging time.".”

Tickets for The Great Gatsby will be available from 8 April until 29 August 2021 and are on sale now here.
