KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 April 12, 2017 \u2014 The 溏心vlog免费B站 Theatre Department will perform \u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d later this month, its final production of the academic year.<\/p>\n
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby, adapted for the stage by Simon Levy, remains the ever evocative story of the pursuit of wealth and romance in the roaring 1920s \u2014 The Jazz Age. Enigmatic self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby pursues the married, moneyed Daisy Buchanan as his party guests drink and dance their frenzied way through life at his opulent Long Island mansion. Their greed, as evidenced by the surrounding consumerism and materialism, is revealed through subtle and obvious class differences of old money, the newly rich, and the working class that includes Tom Buchanan’s mistress Myrtle Wilson. Fitzgerald artfully discloses the careless, callousness of the untouchable upper class with whom we are entranced as they literally get away with murder.<\/p>\n
Performances of \u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d will run April 20-22 and April 27-29 at 7:30 p.m., with additional performances April 23 and April 30 at 3 p.m. in the Robert E. Will Theatre of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Fine Arts Center, 105 Upper College Road, on the Kingston Campus. General Admission is $20, while tickets cost $15 for seniors, 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty, staff and students. To purchase tickets online, visit web.uri.edu\/theatre, or call (401) 874-5843 beginning April 10.<\/p>\n
