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  \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.

Featuring live music arranged by Resident Composer Simon Stallard and performed throughout\, the production is rich in atmosphere and designed to captivate audiences of all ages. \nCritics have described the company’s work as “warm and welcoming\, clever and creative” and “rich in detail and a joy to experience” praise that speaks to both theatrical quality and pure enjoyment. \nPerformed for only one show in this unique amphitheatre setting\, The Great Gatsby at The Oval Bandstand is more than a night at the theatre\, it is a shared summer experience\, elegant\, immersive\, and unforgettable. \n  \n\nDoors\, toilets and concessions open: 6:30pm – 8:30pm .\nTickets are non-refundable\nAll persons under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.\nA fully licensed bar and food is available (alcohol and food is not to be brought into venue\, bag searches are in operation).\nFully accessible toilet facilities are available.\nAll seating areas have step-free access.\nThere is no car parking at the venue\, please use public transport\, bicycles\, or arrive on foot.
