Swimming to Cambodia

Synopsis

Spalding Gray is a raconteur, writer and actor and the subject of his own performance piece. His monologue is based on his experiences of acting a minor role in THE KILLING FIELDS and he roams through a wide variety of subjects - from Thai brothels to Equity - delivering a tragi-comic dissertation on truth, illusion and painfully discovered realities. Soundtrack by Laurie Anderson.
