Description

An era of prohibition, flappers and jazz, the roaring twenties in America were iconically described by F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby; a story of love, loss and tragedy. The story is entwined with complex characters and romanticized descriptions of lavish parties. Anyone who has read the book, probably dreamt of an invite to Jay Gatsby’s mansion for a night of drinks and dancing. A London theatre troupe is looking to make this dream a reality. The Immersive Ensemble is a collection of performers and playwrights changing the way stories are told and experienced. The Great Gatsby is their third produced show and will premier in Brussels on 19 March 2019. Each week the show will switch between French, Dutch and English. The London cast will travel to Brussels to perform the show in English, but the French and Flemish shows will be cast locally. One of the producers for the Belgium show, Peter Monbailleu, explains more.
