Josh Lucas, who played the Gentleman Caller in the 2005 Broadway revival of The Glass Menagerie, will make a guest appearance in the new off-Broadway show Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell from March 20-April 1. The show, conceived by Gray's widow, Kathleen Russo, and directed by Lucy Sexton, opened on March 6 at the Minetta Lane Theatre.
Lucas' film credits include Alive, You Can Count on Me, American Psycho, The Weight of Water, The Deep End, A Beautiful Mind, Sweet Home Alabama, Hulk, Secondhand Lions, Wonderland, Stealth, An Unfinished Life, Glory Road and Poseidon. Prior to The Glass Menagerie, Lucas' best known stage work was in the 1998 Manhattan Theatre Club production of Corpus Christi, in which he played Judas.
Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell is a revealing, dramatic and uproarious presentation of the artist's journals, letters and monologues, many of which have never been heard before. From riotous anecdotes about a visit to an Indian sweat lodge to tender tales of sexual awakening, Stories Left to Tell presents the many sides of Spalding Gray. In addition to diary extracts and other unpublished writing, Stories Left to Tell includes excerpts from Gray's acclaimed monologues Sex and Death to Age 14, Terrors of Pleasure, Swimming to Cambodia, Impossible Vacation, Gray's Anatomy, Monster in a Box, It's a Slippery Slope, Morning Noon and Nightand Life Interrupted. Gray committed suicide in January 2004, having never fully recovered from severe injuries suffered in a 2001 automobile accident in Ireland.
The show ensemble features Kathleen Chalfant, Hazelle Goodman, Ain Gordon, Frank Wood and a rotating guest artist. Before Lucas joined the show, Fisher Stevens appeared with the company.
