Lots of wise words in this interview with @sarahbrigham.bsky.social on the relevance of The Great Gatsby to current life, on politics & putting it on stage at @pitlochryft.bsky.social.

So many themes we could pick up on. I think @elizabethnewman.bsky.social’s adaptation was excellent.

What did we make of Pitlochry's take on American classic The Great Gatsby?

Theatre reviewer David Pollock steps back into the 1920s - but this Gatsby isn't all glitzy and glamour.
