Historical facts blend with imagined scenes to paint portraits that are at once distant and familiar. This production, grounded in the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald, plays with the idea that he wrote his life and subsequently had to live the life he wrote culminating in the concept that he ?the artist' became his greatest creation.
