Join Northern Ballet for the most glamorous party in town from Tue 24 to Sat 28 May.
Northern Ballet's smash hit production of The Great Gatsby is returning to the stage for a new tour this spring. Bringing the glamour and seduction of the roaring twenties to life, The Great Gatsby performs at Milton Keynes from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 May.
Based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby premiered in 2013 and has since enjoyed three successful UK tours. Set on New York's Long Island, in the heady, indulgent days of the 1920s, Nick Carraway comes to know his infamous neighbour Jay Gatsby - a mysterious millionaire with a secret past and a penchant for lavish parties. As the sparkling façade of Gatsby's world begins to slip Carraway comes to see the loneliness, obsession and tragedy that lie beneath. Nominated for a UK Theatre Award for Achievement in Dance, The Great Gatsby is choreographed by David Nixon OBE and earned him a nomination for Best Classical Choreography in the 2014 National Dance Awards. Performed to the unforgettable music of Sir Richard Rodney Bennett CBE, played live by Northern Ballet Sinfonia, The Great Gatsby also features a lavish set designed by Jérôme Kaplan, complemented by the dazzling colourful costumes designed by Nixon.Videos
