What I liked

Love any piece under an hour at the Fringe. The varied use of the space.
The original music was sublime. a cello and vibraphone were the perfect accompanient to the evening.

What I didn't like

While the actors never push and maintain a very natural style, which i appreciated, there were moments i would miss certain things being said. But that made it all the more fun and unique to each audience member

My overall impression

This producing team understands the nuances of creating an immersive experience. One need not be familiar with the original story to enjoy the subtle performances played out in an intimate setting both inside and out the space. Never boring and always intriguing. The cast all fit their parts perfectly. You become one with the performers but never made to feel uncomfortable. It is a grand yet ultimately delicate production that starts to tell the tale of Gatsby. I look forward to see how they continue with the project.
