"The most remarkable achievement in theater not only of this year, but also of this decade.” (The New York Times)

One morning in the shabby office of a mysterious small business, an employee finds a copy of The Great Gatsby in the clutter on his desk. He starts to read it out loud… and doesn’t stop. At first, his coworkers hardly notice. But after a series of strange coincidences, it’s no longer clear whether he’s reading the book or the book is transforming him.

A century after the publication of The Great Gatsby and 20 years after its acclaimed off-Broadway run, Elevator Repair Service’s GATZ comes to Ann Arbor following its sold-out run at New York’s Public Theater in November 2024. Told over a single 6½-hour production (plus dinner break), GATZ is not just a retelling of the Gatsby story, but an enactment of the novel in which Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is cleverly delivered word for word. This literary tour-de-force by one of American theater’s most exciting and inventive companies is “strangely seductive, often revelatory, and altogether ingenious.” (Chicago Sun-Times)

This performance will take place in four sections with two 15-minute intermissions and a 90-minute dinner break (dinner not included in ticket price) for a total length of approximately eight hours. Information about dinner options will be provided closer to the performances.
