Gatsby show comes to life

It was an era of flappers, partying to excess and a love for everything lavish. The roaring '20s, the time of the Great Gatsby, provides the inspiration for a new show at Cresta's CiRK Theatre. The performance is based on themed soirees that celebrate F Scott Fitzgerald's tale of, at times, reckless indulgence.

Performer Claudia Moruzzi stars in the show which also marks her return to the stage after spending a chunk of her career as an artist's agent and taking care of her ill husband.

"It's my midlife crisis, getting back into performing," she said. "I knew I had to find myself again, so I joined the circus, so to speak."

Being back on stage, she said, has invigorated her and there's just no going back.
