Spalding Gray: Terrors of Pleasure is a 1987 filming of a monologue written and performed by Spalding Gray.[1] The monologue is composed of material from the original stage performance Swimming to Cambodia that was not used in the 1987 film.

Overview

[edit]

Gray chronicles the adventures he shared with his girlfriend, Renee, in the Catskills. These took place in and around a cabin he purchased, there in Phoenicia, New York, including the apparent absence of any foundation, and a furnace located in the attic, which is not ideal, if one thinks to take normal heat-flow direction into account.
