TERRORS OF PLEASURES

This tape by monologist Gray will delight the urbane listener who religiously reads THE NEW YORKER. It was taped before an appreciative audience, which this consummate performer holds firmly in the palm of his hand. His insights on contemporary life are not unique, but his waspish wit and vocal showmanship make them seem so. How beautifully he works his audience and manipulates tension to keep them hooked! What pacing! This is not stand-up comedy; it's comic acting and playwrighting of the highest caliber. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JAN 97]
