STORIES LEFT TO TELL also draws from some of the shows that made him a household name—Swimming to Cambodia, Monster in a Box and Life Interrupted. Conceived by Spalding’s widow Kathleen Russo along with Lucy Sexton, who also functions as the evening’s director the show is clear reminder of Gray’s skill  for hilarious monologues.
