Fuse Commentary: Borne Back Ceaselessly into the Kitsch? A Glimpse of Baz Luhrmann’s Gatsby

Theater Review: All Glory to “Gatz” — “The Great Gatsby” Takes the Stage

By: Roberta Silman Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Elevator Repair Service, F Scott Fitzgerald, Gatz, John Collins, Public Theater, Scott Sheperd, The Great Gatsby
