The Great Gatsby
Key Players with C theatre • Semi-professional company
About the show
Key Players with C theatre bring a bold, multi-perspective adaptation of Fitzgerald's classic to the Edinburgh Fringe. Rather than following a single narrative thread, the story unfolds in dynamic vignettes that shift viewpoints and shatter the myth of the American Dream. An immersive party atmosphere gives way to raw intimacy as desire, wealth and identity collide, building relentlessly toward the devastating deaths of three central figures. This 75-minute adaptation is staged at temple and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
This production takes Fitzgerald's familiar story and pulls it apart from multiple angles, letting each character's perspective complicate the myth. The shift between immersive spectacle and quiet intimacy keeps the pace from feeling predictable.
