Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus at Redtwist Theatre

Award-winning Redtwist Theatre, currently presenting, the recently extended through April 6, Titus Andronicus, one of the top rated plays in Chicago, according to TheaterInChicago.com, presents Taylor Mac’s Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, April 24 - June 1, at Redtwist Theatre, 1044 W. Bryn Mawr Ave, directed by Steve Scott.

Taylor Mac’s singular world view intersects with Shakespeare’s first tragedy, Titus Andronicus. Set just after the blood-soaked conclusion of that sensationally gruesome tale, the years of battles are over, the country has been stolen by madmen, and there are casualties everywhere. And two very lowly servants are charged with cleaning up the bodies. It’s the year 400—but it feels like the end of the world.
