WILD PARTIES, LOVE,
RUMORS & ORGANIZED
CRIME?
Nick Carraway takes us back to a time when booze
was illegal, a quick buck was easily made and being wealthy
gives you the right to be careless.
Who is this Jay Gatsby? Everyone seems to have a story about him.
How did he get all of his riches? Many think Gatsby gets his money by
illegal means, but turn the other cheek because he throws a mean party
every weekend.
However the real Jay Gatsby has another story. He is longing for
something that he once had. Nick can help in his pursuit of happiness.
Can Gatsby turn back the clock and live in
the past, or must he look to the future?
Two married women, a polo player, professional
golfer, a gangster and a garage mechanic play out
this story while the eyes of God watch every move
they make.
The story takes place in the ritzy
New York towns of East Egg and
West Egg. These towns are located
on Long Island.
Money is no object for most in these
towns. Their only concern is having
a carefree lifestyle and who is
throwing the next party.
Old Money looks sourly upon New
Money and the towns are abuzz
about where and how Mr. Jay
Gatsby came by all of his money!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
