A hilarious new monologue about fatherhood, by the author of It’s a Slippery Slope. In Morning, Noon, and Night, that master of the confessional Spalding Gray tells the event-filled, trauma-driven, emotionally charged, and outrageously funny story of a day of his life in October 1997, after the birth of his son Theo. The tale of one day, and one baby, becomes an account of generations of the Gray family, and a psychological cross section of the author’s life. Horrified by the prospect of having a son-seeing what he and his brothers did to their father-and aghast at the idea of living in a quaint town on Long Island that seems a detour for a man meant for California, Gray comes to feel a profound affinity for his baby boy, born with the looks of "a wet, blue beaver." It’s the story of his new life with his girlfriend Kathie; her regally precocious eleven-year-old daughter, Marissa; and his son Forrest, who stymies Gray time and again with his metaphysical inquisitiveness-"Daddy, what’s behind the stars?" and "Why does the earth spin?"-cosmic questions that for Gray are reinforced by the view from his bedroom window of a seventeenth-century graveyard, a cold reminder to the author of the transient nature of life. A richly comic work, Morning, Noon, and Night stands as Gray’s most mature work to date. A writer, actor, and performer, Spalding Gray is the author of It’s a Slippery Slope, Swimming to Cambodia, and Monster in a Box.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of transsexual rocker Hedwig Schmidt, an East German immigrant whose sex change operation has been botched and who finds herself living in a trailer park in Kansas. Based on an immigrant woman who used to baby-sit for librettist John Cameron Mitchell while turning tricks in her Kansas trailer, Hedwig finds herself lost and alone, lashing out in rebellion against her physical and emotional mutilation, all the while motivated by an overpowering desire to find her "other half," whoever or whatever that might be. A poignant meditation on loneliness, gender confusion and the romantic notion that sex is an effort to reconnect two halves of one ideal being, Hedwig and the Angry Inch features an exciting rock ‘n’ roll score by composer Stephen Trask and has been embraced by critics and audiences alike, quickly becoming something of a cult classic. New Line Cinema has purchased the movie rights and plans to bring Hedwig to the big screen.
