Who Killed Spalding Gray?
reWork Productions
On the weekend of January 11, 2004, celebrated American monologist Spalding Gray ended his life by jumping off the Staten Island Ferry in New York. That same weekend, on the other side of the country, Daniel MacIvor was spending three days in California in a series of sessions with a man who had offered to save MacIvor’s life. Linking these two real stories is a fiction derived from the obsessions of Gray and the inventions of MacIvor, about a man named Howard who had forgotten how to live. A solo performance about truth and lies and the four most important things in life.
Join us for a post-show discussion with the artists, January 28th. Facilitated by Ghost River Theatre's Artistic Director, Eric Rose.
What they're saying:
"Trying to follow this path of truth, untruth and whatever lies between, the mind after awhile reels, kind of like when you start imagining multiple universes. Few could package it all into an accessible and pleasing performance...but MacIvor does."
