Theatr Clwyd cast bring The Great Gatsby to Mold pub

Eagled eyed visitors to Mold might have spotted that things have started happening at the Dolphin hotel, in Mold.

Following on from its huge sell-out run at the same venue in 2018, this summer Theatr Clwyd takes over the venue for their interactive performance of The Great Gatsby (June 15 to August 27), a co-production with The Guild of Misrule, where the audience is at the heart of the action.

The cast and creative team have now gathered in Mold as rehearsals have begun, while the venue gets sent back in time.

The Dolphin itself will be completely transformed. Designed by Welsh designer Heledd Rees, the space will be transformed into a variety of 1920s locations, including rooms in Mr Gatsby's mansion and the speakeasy.

Theatr Clwyd is one of only four producing theatres to create set, props and costume all on site in Mold. The talented production team, including carpenters, metal workers, designers and scenic artists to name a few, will be working tirelessly in the coming weeks to make sure the space is ready.
