About “Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell”:
Spalding’s collaborator and widow, Kathleen Russo, conceived a way for Spalding’s words to live on in a vibrant, creative and unexpected way. Her concept was to have five actors, of mixed age and gender, take on parts of Spalding’s psyche: love, family, career, adventure and, of course, journals. Then, mix together famous parts of his great works, along with never-before-heard private writings, into a 75-minute monologue. The result is a sum greater than its parts. Not only are we reminded of the genius of Spalding Gray, but we are also treated to an even greater insight into the man, his work, and those he left behind.
