Dave Rabjon — Theater Critic

With set design by Paul Tate dePoo III, he creates towering panels of rich gold that slide to create various sections of the ostentatious mansions. The towers suggest both the bloated size and power of the rich. But they also create a crushing weight over the victims of the failed American Dream. Another towering set depicting Gatsby’s excess with expensive shirts was a marvel.
