Three-time Tony Award® winner Nathan Lane and Tony nominee Kristine Nielsen star this season on Broadway in the world premiere of, Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, the new comedy by Pulitzer Prize finalist and MacArthur Fellow, Taylor Mac.

Directed by five-time Tony Award winner George C. WolfeGary is set just after the blood-soaked conclusion of William Shakespeare’s first tragedy, Titus Andronicus.

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 – Lane and Nielsen – are charged with cleaning up the bodies. It’s the year 400 – but it feels like the end of the world.....

"Though it’s Nathan Lane’s name that tops the marquee and Nielsen’s that comes close behind, it’s all but impossible to imagine ‘Gary’ without Julie White’s brilliantly kooky antics." - Vulture

Reviews

  • NYT Critic's Pick -

    Taylor Mac
    ’s new play ... is the unlikeliest bird to land on Broadway in many a year. ... it is fabulous and bedraggled: a defiant and beautiful mess.... But, strange bird or not, I’m glad it’s here. Not everything perfect is true, and not everything messy isn’t." 
  • "Much of Gary is an outrageous mix of the grotesque and the absurd, designed to make audiences gape. ... Nathan Lane is tremendous, and Julie White is screamingly funny..." 
  • Gary is a farce, a piece of messy circus whose many tones and shades will likely divide audiences and critics. But there is nothing like it on Broadway, and that is to be welcomed.
