Small Parties

I saw this show in 2021 and loved how "Small Parties" takes characters from The Great Gatsby and shines a new (green?) light on them. Between what is said and more importantly, what isn't, - Nick, Jordan, and Daisy all grapple with the dizzying cocktail that is friendship, love, and queerness in the 1920's.

Character Information
Nick Carraway
Nick is a Yale University graduate who quit his dream of being a writer and instead moved to New York to get into the stock market. He is anxious and often sticks out like a sore thumb among the high society folk he hangs around, no matter how he tries not to. The most empathetic and honest person in sight at almost all times.

Jordan Baker
Professional golfer and semi-professional gossip. She would like you to believe that she is eternally cool and collected. One can never quite tell if she is being sarcastic or not, and that's something she works hard at. She is rather self-centered sometimes but deep down this seems like an act. At least for now.
