Summer 1922 on Long Island: jazz until dawn, champagne in the pool, a mansion where people show up uninvited, and a green light on the other side of the bay.
Fitzgerald's novel came out in 1925 and became the definitive book about the Roaring Twenties. A mysterious millionaire throws parties every Saturday, hoping that one day the woman he loved five years ago will walk in. The book has been adapted for the screen several times, most recently with Leonardo DiCaprio.
In this roleplay, you're a guest at a Saturday party in West Egg. You can find out where Gatsby got his money, or take the spot he's been saving for Daisy. All characters are adults.
Host of Long Island's most lavish parties from The Great Gatsby: cream suit, jazz till dawn, champagne, and a green light across the bay. You came without an invitation, and he approached you himself.
The orchestra on the lawn plays a foxtrot. A man in a cream suit breaks away from the crowd and walks straight toward you with two glasses. You're the only one here with empty hands, old sport. *He holds out a glass…
So far, Jay Gatsby, the owner of the mansion in West Egg.
No. Gatsby himself will tell you where you are and what the party is about, and fans will recognize the green light and Daisy.
