Spalding Grey returns for benefit

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Spalding Gray, a master of the monologue, is returning to the stage after a major bout with depression.

Gray will perform his critically acclaimed one-man show, "It's a Slippery Slope," at the Dorset Playhouse in Dorset, Vt., Nov. 29 to benefit the Clear Path International's life saving work with land mine victims in Southeast Asia, according to Zap2it.com.

Brought to the big screen in 1987, Gray is best known for his classic monologue "Swimming to Cambodia." Last November he was scheduled to perform in Dorset but it was canceled at the last minute when he was hospitalized for depression.
