Review of A Tribute to Spalding Gray


I have a feeling that most people who knew about Spaulding Gray - as audience members, etc. (and I think there are alot of us! Even Marge Simpson!) - reacted to the events that surrounded his unusual death with that special feeling of loss you get for a friend you didn't get a chance to know. You wanted to know more about what happened - much more to the point than the New York Times was ever going to tell you. This piece delivers that - and I have to say that this is really wonderful tape for the producers to have. They've done a lovely, sensitive job of sharing it and I'm grateful.
