By Barry Lowe, Richard Kemp & Connor Hodges
From the novel by F Scott Fitzgerald
Adapted by Sale College
Sale College presents F Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece adapted for stage; The Great Gatsby. Set in Jazz Age New York, the play tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, and his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman whom he loved in his youth. The play explores the American dream gone sour. The greed and duplicity of US society in the 1920s through the eyes of the narrator, Nick Carroway. It’s a story of glamour, love and betrayal depicting the lure of the rich and glamorous society of Long Island and New York – and how sometimes all that glimmers is not necessarily gold.
Produced in partnership with KCC Theatre and realised by Sale College students from years 7-12, The Great Gatsby promises to be a night of singing, dancing, extravagance and decadence.
Combining dynamic acting with a live choir and brilliant dance ensemble, the talents of a large ensemble cast are on show as they breathe new life into an ageless classic.

Changes to Council services post Covid-19 vaccination target
How people interact with Wellington Shire Council services, including The Wedge will change in coming days when Victoria meets its 80% Covid-19 vaccination target. The direction of the state government is that once the 80% target is reached, Council will only be permitted to allow fully vaccinated people into its buildings. This means all patrons aged 16 and over, and all workers, volunteers and performers aged 12 and over will need to have received two Covid-19 vaccinations. The current prediction for this 80% target is 29 October.
All people entering The Wedge will be required to show one of the following upon request:
– Their vaccination status through the Victorian Government Service Victoria app on their smartphone (available through the Apple App Store or Google Play)
– A printout of their vaccination certificate
– An official letter from their doctor show evidence of a medical exemption
Once the 80% state-wide target is reached, people who cannot produce one of the above will not be able to access Council facilities including The Wedge.
