Taylor Mac’s GARY: A SEQUEL TO TITUS
ANDRONICUS is a madcap romp through piles of corpses and the aftermath
of carnage. The always loveable Nathan Lane is a trainee
learning how to efficiently dispose of bodies under the tutelage of
Julie White and often distracted by the semi-insane Kristine
Nielsen who rants on about a baby she could have saved. There are some
genuinely funny, full-out-laughter moments in this off-kilter production
delivered by three extremely talented actors, and yet my advice would be “Don’t
bother.” It is rare that the audience knows what is going on, and after a while
the blood and guts and sexual innuendos become tedious and boring. Unfortunately
the confusion outweighs the comedy.
