Ruby in the Dust celebrates its tenth anniversary by returning to London's Union Theatre with its acclaimed production of the company's iconic show, GATSBY. Ruby staged its first show at the Union Theatre in March 2006. Now GATSBY has been specially tailored to suit the seductive environs of the theatre's intimate space. The show begins tonight, April 6th, and runs through April 30th at The Union Theatre, with opening night slated for April 12th, 2016. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in action below!
We find Meyer Wolfsheim in his favourite 'speakeasy' having received the shock of his life. "When a man gets killed - I keep out!". But this time there's something else; something - or someone - that draws him into Gatsby's world. Watch the characters of F Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby come to life as they weave their way through the famous story and unravel the mystery that is Jay Gatsby. GATSBY: the epitome of glitz, glamour and the end of the American Dream. The Roaring Twenties are heading towards their invariable crash, the party's almost over.
THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX star, Ferne McCann, makes her theatre debut as Myrtle Wilson. Also in the cast are: Paul BuBois, Nicholas Fagerberg (Gatsby), Joanna Brown (Daisy), Blair Robertson, James Rallinson, Kate Marlais, Emma Whittaker, Katie Beudert, Lewis Rae, Zed Joseph, Mark Townsend and Samantha Louise Clark.
GATSBY was first presented by Ruby in the Dust in 2012 at the King's Head Theatre, and again in 2013 at the Riverside Studios, and was greeted with wide acclaim and sell out audiences on both occasions.
