Spalding Gray’s Swimming to Cambodia: A solo performance by Shawn Watson. Directed by Graham MacDonald. Presented by homeagainhomeagain productions.
*Mature content, not for children.
Since his early performances with the Kings Theatre Young Company, Shawn Watson has gone on to obtain a BFA in Acting and Dramatic Literature, then on to the west coast where his performances have garnered acclaim for their hypnotic energy and drive.
Currently based in Vancouver, while home for his brother’s wedding Shawn is offering a one-night-only performance of Spalding Gray’s “Swimming to Cambodia”, a one-man play recounting the legendary actor/monologist’s experiences making the 1987 film “The Killing Fields”, traveling southeast Asia, observing first hand the consequences of Cold War politics, the 1975 Cambodian genocide, sex, drugs, relationships and the pursuit of happiness.
This is a charged piece of theatre full of intelligence and humour, prickling with chilling revelations and dizzying parallels to the headlines of today. Watson’s performance draws the audience into a high-speed adventure through the anatomy of Gray’s imagination, without ever leaving his chair.
