A new stage adaptation of The Great Gatsby may be heading to the West End, led by Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page. As reported by Baz Bamigboye of Deadline, the production is written by Joel Horwood and Maria Aberg, will be directed by Michael Longhurst, and will begin performances this fall, in a theater to be announced.
“The Great Gatsby has always been a story incredibly close to my heart, and I couldn’t be more excited about bringing this new adaptation to life in London’s West End,” Page wrote, in an exclusive statement for Deadline.
”I’ve been looking for the right thing to do on stage for years, and this piece’s delicate balance of spectacle and real human intimacy is something Mike [Longhurst] and I have always looked to excite and move audiences with,” he said.
Page went on to share that this new adaptation “has as sharp an interest in the social critique of the times in F Scott Fitzgerald’s original, as it does their devastating effect on the fragile, flawed people trying to live and dream through them.”
