It’s the roaring twenties! The jazz age is in full swing as economic prosperity sweeps the nation and American women are finally beginning to experience new freedom and independence led by the flapper movement. The prohibition has just been enacted in the United States, forbidding the production and importation of alcoholic beverages. But despite this, the parties are becoming increasingly glamorous, as Americans dance the night away to jazz music, which is accelerating rapidly in popularity. Amidst the glittering parties is a mysterious man named Gatsby. Rumours circulate fiercely about Gatsby; however his true identity is known to none. All that is known of this man is that he hosts large parties for all of the city. When the quiet yet observant Nick Carraway moves next door to Gatsby’s house, he quickly learns of this strange figure. And Gatsby is on the hunt for one thing, and one thing only - his former love, Daisy Buchanan.
