The Gray Gatsby
A queer classical retelling of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. When Nick meets Jay Gatsby, he doesn’t understand the intensity he feels toward him. Still, he dives headfirst into a friendship with Gatsby and in turn Gatsby’s problems. He learns Gatsby centers his life around Daisy, Nick’s cousin and Gatsby’s lost love. He throws grand parties with mysterious money to gain her attention. As Nick grapples between his feelings for Gatsby, he finds solidarity in Jordan Baker, a pro golfer who secretly swoons over Daisy. As their relationship blossoms, they find their obsessions have consequences, and they must decided if attaining their desires is worth the price they have to pay.
