Monologuist Spalding Gray talks about the great difficulties he experienced while attempting to write his first novel, a nearly 2,000-page autobiographical tome concerning the death of his mother. Among his many asides, Gray discusses his problems in dealing with the Hollywood film industry, recounts the trips he took around the world in order to avoid dealing with his writer’s block and describes his ambivalence about acting as stage manager for a Broadway production of “Our Town.”
“This was a project that Jon Blair produced and put together. I was brought in as director. At first, I feared it might be a repeat of the experience of working with Lily Tomlin, but it turned out very differently – Renee Shafransky and Spalding were the best to work with. Very open to suggestions, not overly protective of their material, and also completely methodical. I basically borrowed the approach used by Jonathan Demme in Swimming to Cambodia.” – Nick Bromfield (https://www.nickbroomfield.com/).

Thanks, haven’t seen this in years. Well, since 1992.
It has a strange resemblance to Laurie Anderson’s own spoken word+music performances, I find.
