THE GREAT GATSBY

The popularity of such pieces of literature as THE GREAT GATSBY speaks to the level of craft in their writing. The fact that audio presentations of such works are fast becoming just as popular opens the door to a new gauge of craft: the performance. Actor William Hope, who trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, brings to this production a well-qualified rendition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic of 1920s high society. Hope delivers the text with the respect and energy that a masterpiece like this deserves. R.A.P. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 00]
