Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus - 2019 Broadway History , Info & More
Booth Theatre (Broadway)
222 West 45th St. New York, NY
In Gary, Taylor Mac's singular world view intersects with Shakespeare's first tragedy, Titus Andronicus. In Mac's extraordinary new play, set during the fall of the Roman Empire, the years of bloody battles are over. The civil war has ended. 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 only 400 B.C. - but it feels like the end of the world.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus
REVIEW: Nathan Lane plays title character in Broadway’s ‘Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus’ with a funny, formidable ferocity
8 / 10
Lane is quite spectacularly good here - he's in deeper than I've ever seen him, and I've been watching him for years. He's more vulnerable, too. His ambition - to be the fool, the kind of Stephen Colbert-like figure who speaks truth to power, rather than the clown guy who only offers non-ideological escape - is what drives this performance, remarkable in all kinds of ways.
Theater Review: Shakespeare, Riffed On Relentlessly, in Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus
7 / 10
The play wants to be a breathless farce, a political gut-punch, a meditation on our penchant for violence and our reverence for classical drama, a vigorous mash-up of high- and lowbrow (imagine the 'Approval Matrix' ... all squished together), and a defiant, art-forward beacon of hope. And it feels like some of these things, some of the time. But despite - or perhaps because of - the fact that George C. Wolfe's production is pitched pretty much unrelentingly at 11, Gary isn't as funny or as biting as it could be. Like the big Rube Goldberg machine that looms over Santo Loquasto's appropriately garish, corpse-strewn set, the play's working parts, while visible, aren't always activated.
