About This Show

Breedingground Productions’ Spring Fever Festival 2005 presents the world premiere of A Spalding Gray Matter, written and performed by Michael Brandt, and directed by Ian Morgan.

This unique new play explores the curious story of Spalding Gray’s illness, disappearance, and assumed suicide through the eerily parallel events of the author’s own experience. Using the theatrical structure of Gray’s monologues, Michael seeks to understand what happened to Spalding Gray as a way of understanding what is happening to himself, and vice versa. The result is an intimate, confessional environment for a gripping story about the consequences of illness on the human psyche.
