Future Works

In addition to the A Night at Gatsby’s video and playbook, the following related works are also being planned.

Augmented Reality Playlet App
Gatsby AR will be a 3-minute augmented reality playlet to serve as an online marketing tool and demonstrate a future AR version of the adaptation. The app begins with voice-overs of Gatsby’s guests repeating some common rumors about him, followed by Gatsby telling even more lies about his life. His monologue is interrupted when the faces of Daisy and Tom appear to confront Gatsby’s affair with Daisy. The faces disappear and Gatsby concludes with his steadfast love for Daisy.

Harlem Renaissance Musical

The musical will dramatize fictional 1920’s Harlem bootlegger J Gatsby and his American Dream of becoming rich to “repeat the past” and win back his former lover A'Lelia Walker. The musical presents through dialogue, dance and period/modern Blues and Jazz music the interrelated stories and dreams of J Gatsby and five historical Harlem residents-- A'Lelia Walker, Dr. Wiley Wilson, W. E. B. Du Bois, Alberta Hunter, and Paul Robeson.

About us

A Night at Gatsby’s is a reimagination of The Great Gatsby that preserves the novel’s voice while breaking the fourth wall and immersing viewers in one of Jay Gatsby’s unforgettable parties to relive his story from the initial rumors and lies about Gatsby, through his reunion with Daisy and confrontation with Tom, and ending with his lonely farewell.
