The Guild of Misrule and Immersive Everywhere's THE GREAT GATSBY, created and directed by Alexander Wright, has re-opened at West End venue IMMERSIVE | LDN. The show was forced to close down in March, due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent UK shutdown.

Olivier Award winning producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook have re-imagined and re-set the production as an Art Deco Masquerade Ball, with audience members wearing compulsory face coverings to complement their fabulous attire.

The capacity of the venue has been significantly reduced to help patrons - coming as individuals or in household groups - to keep a safe distance from others; and the nature of the show means that audience members can choose where they stand and move throughout the performance, naturally enabling social distancing. The show content has been altered and updated to avoid any activity that would be considered high risk, and the actors have been further trained to keep groups of audience following the story, whilst remaining at a safe distance.
