A BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, starring Bryan Dick as Nick and Andrew Scott as Jay Gatsby. The greatest book on the fallibility of the American dream, The Great Gatsby, a portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, is by far the most popular classic in modern American fiction. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's - and his country's - most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed and the promise of new beginnings. Gatsby is the man who has everything - but one thing will always be out of his reach... The Great Gatsby has been adapted as a major motion picture, directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.
