Publisher's Synopsis

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.

The Roman Empire is falling. A bloody coup has ended, the country has been stolen by madmen, and there are casualties everywhere. Two 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.

Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus was premiered at the Booth Theatre on Broadway in April 2019 in a production directed by George C. Wolfe, starring Nathan Lane, Kristine Nielsen and Julie White. It received seven Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Play.
