Jim--
In my dour and nasty "sick-itude" today, I said that my reaction to Gray's work was "tepid at best". . . that's pretty much true for most of what I've seen of his, but NOT for "Monster in a Box"-- staged or film version.
If you haven't seen it, check out the film of "Monster in a Box." There's a filmed version of "swimming to cambodia" too--and that's kind of interesting because you get to see his style, and you can see him do his genre of personal monologue, remembering that he was one of the first to do it---but other than that STC is kind of "overpumped."
"Monster in a Box" is the best one and kind of shocking--its humor/horror holds up even nowadays, when we've already heard all the confessions of abused and abusers around the world.
