Following the success of this production, Peter Joucla was invited to direct a revised production of The Great Gatsby at Wilton’s Music Hall. It was performed during April and May of 2012 to packed houses and received excellent reviews in both The Times and Evening Standard. The production was then remounted in Cape Town in October of 2012 and was performed open air to enthusiastic audiences until its closing night on New Years Eve. The production was remounted again in March 2013 at Wilton’s Music Hall and was once again played to packed houses.
