9 roles
Born to a working class farming family, he has used his charm and smarts to work his way into the elite, wealthy 1920s New York social scene. He leads with charisma which veils an underlying guardedness and hunger. Incredibly social savvy but feels he’s got a lot to prove.
Physically imposing, a former college football star. An inherent confidence and entitlement. Grew up incredibly rich and privileged and can’t stand being at a disadvantage.
Mid 20s. An acerbic young woman who is incredibly self aware. Men and women alike are drawn to her. Her sharp intellect has caused her to be hungrily restless. Often the smartest person in the room but not recognized as such.
Mid 30s. A smart, passionate working class fighter on a quest to change her circumstances. A woman with a feral hunger who drinks life in and knows how to throw a party. Someone who wants desperately to live. And, like Gatsby, she’s got a lot to prove.
Myrtle’s sister and confidant. A caring, protective force for good in her sister’s life, Catherine is savvy and lives with her girlfriend in the city.
Middle class, Midwestern veteran. New to NYC, he’s a perpetual outsider who’s learned to fit himself into other’s world. Smart, witty, and observant. But yearning for meaning.
An excellent golfer who is elevated into elite society due to her athletic exceptionalism and wit. A keen observer, she sees through most people and probably knows all their secrets.
Mid 30s. Myrtle’s husband. A strong, capable, working class car mechanic who has worked hard and honestly all his life but has been unlucky. He loves his wife and wants more than anything to have their passion back.
A charismatic father figure to Gatsby. Incredibly savvy and self-aware. An excellent businessman. A man who makes sh*t happen, despite the odds.
