Gatz is a stage adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby by the Elevator Repair Service theater ensemble. The show was directed by John Collins.
The show consists of the entire text of the novel, read aloud by a company of actors. Its premise is that an office worker pulls a copy of Gatsby out of a drawer and begins reading it aloud. His coworkers gradually join in, and the people and office space transform into the characters and settings of the novel.




Production history


Development on the show began in 1999, and it was first presented at the Collapsable Hole venue in Brooklyn in 2004 before transferring to the Performing Garage later that year. The show toured Europe, Sydney and Singapore from 2005 to 2009, and was mounted Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in 2010–11, where it won several awards.
After its production at the Public Theater, Gatz was shown in Princeton and Los Angeles between 2011 and 2013; in Abu Dhabi in 2018–19; in Berkeley in 2019–20. It is scheduled to be remounted for a "final encore" at the Public Theater in November 2024.
