Elevator Repair Service will perform Gatz at the West End’s Noel Coward Theatre, to run June 8 – July 15, as part of London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT). The engagement will follow the company’s previously announced appearance with the show at The Public Theater.

In the ensemble-created piece, 13 actors bring every word of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby to the stage in a two-part, 6 1/2-hour theatrical event.

The London cast will include Laurena Allan (Myrtle), Jim Fletcher (Jim), Ross Fletcher (Henry C. Gatz), Lindsay Hockaday (alternate Catherine) Mike Iveson (Ewing), Vin Knight (Chester), Aaron Landsman (George), Annie McNamara (Catherine, alternate Jordan), Kate Scelsa (Lucille), Scott Shepherd (Nick), Susie Sokol (Jordan), Lucy Taylor (Daisy), and Ben Williams (Michaelis).

The creative team includes scenic designer Louisa Thompson, costume designer Colleen Werthmann, lighting designer Mark Barton, and sound designer Ben Williams.
