Since 1979, he has been writing and performing confessional autobiographical monologues that plumb lifes experiences for all their irony, absurdity, and edgy intensity. Hes been compared to Anna Devere Smith, Garrison Keillor, and Anna Quindlen and called a new wave Mark Twain. Since founding and fronting the boldly experimental media and theater ensemble, the Wooster Group in lower Manhattan, he has toured with his work and appeared in feature films. The making of Roland Joffes The Killing Fields (1984) inspired Swimming to Cambodia, a monologue that Gray first performed in 1982 and made into a film in 1988. He is reviving it at Sanders Theatre this weekend.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/dev.news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/01\/03-gray-285-11.jpg"}
