Immersive Everywhere have released rehearsal photos of their critically acclaimed production of The Great Gatsby.
The UK’s longest running immersive production will re-open at Immersive LDN on Thursday 1 October 2020.
The production has been re-imagined as an Art Deco Masquerade Ball to fall in with government safety guidance. Audience members will be required to wear face coverings throughout, with the show’s costume designer Heledd Rees also creating a bespoke face covering, which will be available to purchase at the venue. A portion of the proceeds from this item will go to The Theatre Artists Fund.
Jay Gatsby invites you to one of his infamous large parties. Re-imagined and re-set to meet covid-19 secure guidelines, the champagne flows and as the drama unfolds the man himself will be the perfect host. As invites go, this is the hottest in town.
A hedonistic world of red hot rhythms, bootleg liquor and pure jazz age self-indulgence awaits. Don your masquerade, dress to the nines and immerse yourself in this heart racing adaption of F Scott Fitzgerald’s seminal tale of the Roaring Twenties.
The full cast includes: Craig Hamilton (Gatsby), Lucinda Turner (Daisy), James Lawrence (Nick), Dean Graham (Tom), Lucas Jones (George Wilson), Ivy Corbin (Jordan), MJ Lee (Myrtle Wilson), Hugh Stubbins (Rosy Rosenthal), Aimee Barrett (Lucille) and Alex Wingfield (Joey).
Producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook said “We’re delighted The Great Gatsby is returning to its London home. We’re deeply proud of the team who have worked so skilfully and passionately - with input from the Culture Task Force, Equity, and Westminster, - to welcome back our audiences and restore some of the cultural offering in London that has been missing for far too long.
“We are really excited to welcome folks back to Gatsby's mansion in a responsible and measured way, and to be one of be the first shows in the West End that is able to re-open its doors to fans. At IMMERSIVE LDN we will always lead the way with innovation, and we’re hoping this can be a blueprint to help our other productions around the world begin to open.
“We’ve definitely missed telling this beautiful story each night. It has been a joy to bring back some of the original creators of Gatsby after half a decade, to revisit, revive and augment the production, with new scenes and new choreography that should be exciting for fans old and new.”
Tickets can be booked here.
