About this release
A performance by acclaimed monologue artist Spalding Gray is captured in this unusually sparse but effective concert film. Gray's main topic is his experiences playing a small role in The Killing Fields, which serves as a launching pad for a series of fascinating anecdotes and much humorous philosophizing.
