Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus at Oakland Theater Project

“Ya think ya can bring an end to tragedy?”

OTP will stage the West Coast Premiere of groundbreaking theater artist Taylor Mac’s Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, directed by Emilie Whelan (A Streetcar Named Desire). The 2019 Broadway hit, which garnered seven Tony Award nominations, is set after the blood-soaked conclusion of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus.

Two servants are charged with cleaning up the aftermath, in a darkly comedic play the New York Times called “fabulous and bedraggled: a defiant and beautiful mess.” An exploration of power, privilege, death, survival, and the role of art in shaping the world, Gary reveals how hope can be hilariously created after history has exploded in the gory apocalypse.
