THE GANGS OF NEW YORK REVIEW
GROSVENOR PARK OPEN AIR THEATRE, CHESTER – SATURDAY 31ST AUGUST 2024. Last night, I revisited the purpose-built outdoor theatre located in the lovely Grosvenor Park in Chester. This picturesque setting is once again hosting a season of live storytelling this summer, under the stars. One of the three performances this year is an adaptation of “The Gangs of New York” by award-winning writer Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young. This production is based on the iconic 1928 non-fiction book by Herbert Asbury, rather than the 2002 film by Martin Scorsese. The show tells a tale of the American Dream, fierce rivalries in New York’s notorious Five Points neighbourhood, and includes elements of humour and romance.
