Brisbane Powerhouse and Philip Bacon Galleries present

Gatz

Fri 8 - Sun 10 May 09

ELEVATOR REPAIR SERVICE (NEW YORK, USA)

A low-rent office. A mysterious business. An employee picks up a copy of The Great Gatsby. He opens the book. Reads it aloud… and can’t stop!

At first his co-workers hardly seem to notice, but then weird coincidences start happening in the office, one after another, until it’s no longer clear whether he’s reading the book or the book is doing something to him.

A six-hour tour de force, with a cast of thirteen, Gatz is not a stage adaptation of Fitzgerald’s novel, but a reading of the entire book – brilliantly brought to life by one of America’s most exciting theatre companies.

"One of those I-was-there productions...people will talk about for many, many years." The Bulletin, Philadelphia

"Breathtakingly good theatre."  Het Parool, Amsterdam

DURATION: 7hrs and 30mins, including 3 intervals (totalling 90 mins)

Bookings can only be made by visiting the Brisbane Powerhouse Box Office or calling our friendly box office staff on 07 3358 8600.
