Synopsis

Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus; Performance artist Taylor Mac picks up where William Shakespeare's blood-soaked tragedy Titus Andronicus left off in a play that explores generic boundaries and charts the violence done by those in charge, and the lives of those left to clean up.

Press Reviews

"Taylor Mac…has the smarts to take on the big themes – death, power, betrayal, responsibility – and to find credible and incredible arguments in each. Mac’s ability to elevate doggerel to verse – and to a mirror of his protagonist’s essence – is no small thing: it is the work of a real writer expressing depths in a popular form.” – The New Yorker“Gary is morbid and hilarious, poetic and gross, deeply absurd and born of undeniable urgency. Mashing up a menagerie of forms and traditions, from farce and theatre of the absurd to Brechtian self-reference and the bawdiness of National Lampoon, Mac conjures a hyper-stimulating experience unlike any other."

— Towleroad
