BWW Review: GATSBY, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Dec 18, 2021
Every once in a while, we fall prey to the glitz and glam of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age. In the smaller space at Southwark Playhouse, it’s 1929. Daisy Buchanan - who now wants to be referred to with her maiden name, Fay - was in a sanatorium for seven years before escaping, still seemingly drugged up and confused, to find Jay Gatsby and live their extravagant life together.

With the help of speakeasy owner Woolfe, Daisy retraces the events that led up to that fateful day.
