SUMMARY:The Great Gatsby by This is my Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A roaring\, high-energy theatrical journey into the heart of the American Dream.\n\n\nThe Great Gatsby\n  \nBOOK TICKETS HERE\n  \nPresented by This Is My Theatre \nThis summer\, one of the greatest stories ever written is staged in one of Margate’s most striking settings. \nSet beneath open skies at The Oval Bandstand & Lawns\, this electrifying adaptation of The Great Gatsby transforms the amphitheatre into a world of jazz-age glamour\, ambition\, and beautifully broken dreams.
