On 18 June 2019, Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus – written by Taylor Mac, directed by George C. Wolfe, and starring Nathan Lane, Kristine Nielsen and Julie White – closed seven weeks ahead of schedule on Broadway, in part because its weekly average earned only 24 per cent of its projected box office takings. In this epilogue to Shakespeare’s play, Gary lingers after Titus Andronicus’s final butchery and considers what comes next. The plot is simple and Beckettian. Gary, the previously unnamed messenger from Shakespeare’s play, has been newly hired as part of the clean-up crew working under the head maid, Janice, to sort through the mess left by Titus’s revenge and dispose of the many leftover bodies. In a space variously described as ‘the storage of Hell’1 and ‘the Judgement place’,2 Gary and Janice bicker over his starry-eyed desire to be visible to the ruling classes and her pragmatic wish to finish the job as quickly as possible.
