The Great Gatsby

Dramatic Reading with Music for the 85th Anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Death Theaterschiff on Land Guest at the French Church Potsdam F. S. Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was the literary spokesperson of the "Jazz Age." In his books, he captured the glittering New York of the interwar years, which was enthralled by the rhythms of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong, while not ignoring the question of whether this brilliance was deceptive. "The Great Gatsby," his masterpiece published in 1925, is not only one of the great tragic love stories of world literature but also a requiem for the American Dream in all its exuberance and hedonism, its decadence and passion. A dramatic reading with musical outbursts! Featuring the well-known Potsdam actors Isabell Gerschke and Christian Näthe, along with the renowned Brandenburg saxophonist Sebastian Hillmann.
