Immersive Everywhere have announced a final extension for London's longest running immersive theatrical production THE GREAT GATSBY. Adapted and directed by Alexander Wright, THE GREAT GATSBY will play at Gatsby's Mansion within Immersive|LDN in Mayfair until 7 January 2023, which will be its final season in London.

Immersive Everywhere led by Olivier Award-winning producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook have announced new casting for London's longest running immersive theatrical production THE GREAT GATSBY. Adapted and directed by Alexander Wright, THE GREAT GATSBY is playing at Gatsby's Mansion within Immersive|LDN in Mayfair until 30 October 2022.

A further extension has been announced for the run of London's longest running immersive theatrical production THE GREAT GATSBY. Created and directed by Alexander Wright, THE GREAT GATSBY is now playing at Gatsby's Mansion at Immersive LDN in Mayfair until 30 October 2022.

Immersive Everywhere will bring back London's longest running immersive theatrical production this autumn. THE GREAT GATSBY, created and directed by Alexander Wright, reopens in the West End, playing at Gatsby's Mansion at Immersive LDN in Mayfair from 16 September, with a press night on Friday 24 September (marking F Scott's Fitzgerald's 125th birthday).

Due to the huge success of the live-streamed performances of 'The Gruffalo' as well as the very sad news that the 'in-person' run of 'The Gruffalo's Child' at Alexandra Palace had to be canceled due to London's Tier 3 restrictions, leading family theatre company Tall Stories will make the recording of 'The Gruffalo' live-stream performance available to audiences across the country.

Following a successful virtual tour of 'The Snail and the Whale' over October half-term, leading family theatre company Tall Stories will present a special live-streamed version of their much-loved stage adaptation of 'The Gruffalo' from 11-13 December 2020.

Tall Stories returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year with two Oscar Wilde adaptations, including the World Premiere of 'THE CANTERVILLE GHOST' and the Edinburgh premiere of 'WILDE CREATURES'. The shows play in rep at Pleasance Courtyard from 1-26 August 2018.

Tall Stories are back as part of Vaudeville Theatre's celebration of Oscar Wilde. They condense the author's fairy tales in Wilde Creatures, exploring morality in a show tailor-made for young audiences.

Olivia Jacobs is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Tall Stories, a registered charity internationally recognised for their high-quality family theatre. Olivia has directed shows in the West End, on Broadway, and at the Sydney Opera House, including multiple tours of The Gruffalo. This year, the company celebrates their 20th anniversary and presents a new show called Wilde Creatures that combines several of Oscar Wilde's fairy stories as part of Dominic Dromgoole's year-long Oscar Wilde celebration at the Vaudeville Theatre.

We first came across Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's now much-loved book The Gruffalo in 1999, the year it was published. My co-artistic director Toby was working as an editor for Macmillan Children's Books (the Gruffalo publishers), and we thought it was a brilliant story that might work well on stage for children aged 3+ and their grown-ups.
