Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus
Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus
Description
A wickedly dark comedy set in the aftermath of William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.
Set during the fall of the Roman Empire just after the blood-soaked conclusion of Shakespeare's play, the years of bloody battles are over, the country has been stolen by madmen, and there are casualties everywhere. And two very lowly servants - Gary and Janice - are charged with cleaning up the bodies. It's the year 400 - but it feels like the end of the world.
'A raucous comedy whose subject is tragedy...which Mac engages with gloriously raunchy humor and blazing intuition, and an aching tenderness that sneaks up on you and wraps itself around your heart.' - New York Stage Review
'[A] zany, bloody, audacious new play.' - Time Out, New York
'The iconoclastic vision, the captivating balance of highbrow and low, the undercurrent of compassion for a rarely deserving species all stay true and really rather glorious.' - Deadline
'Mac's comedy, among other things, is a bruised valentine to the awesome yet limited power of the theater.' - The Wrap
'Delectably raunchy and macabre.' - Vanity Fair
'There's no shortage of art and craft in this offbeat show.' - Variety
'A philosophical vaudeville depicting the savagery of elites, the pettiness of proles, the foolishness of dreamers...Soon, the battle lines are drawn between those, of whatever class, who would try to save the world but fail - the comedians, that is - and those who won't try at all: the tragedians.' - New York Times
