It\u2019s Theatre Thursday! Today\u2019s show\nis <\/em>Gary<\/em>: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, playing at Broadway\u2019s Booth Theatre.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

If you’re familiar with artist and playwright Taylor Mac, you’d know before going into one of his shows that it’ll be unique, to say the least. But you don’t even need to know Mac’s provocative past works (like his A 24-Decade History of Popular Music<\/em>) to know that something billing itself as a sequel to Shakespeare’s most violent, disgustingly gory play, Titus Andronicus<\/em>, will be eeeeenteresting. And gory. And weird af. And it is!<\/p>\n
\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n
But Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus<\/em>, starring the great Nathan Lane, is more than just fart jokes and blood (although there’s a lot of scatological humor, which is the fancy way of saying you see a lot of actual, um, emptying of intestines. Of corpses). As you’d expect from Mac, Gary<\/em> also manages to say some noble things about class, injustice, and modern society. It’s just simultaneously squirting blood out of stabbed necks and accidentally ingesting corpse feces.<\/p>\n
