Straight from its five-star, award-winning run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival!
A New York actor finds himself in Texas prison on a drug charge –after being recognized for his performance on One Life to Live, he is offered protection by an inmate from the Texas Aryan Brotherhood in exchange for acting lessons.
Theatrical hurricane Ned Van Zandt tells his tale of the drug-induced chaos of the Chelsea Hotel in the 1970s – rubbing shoulders (and more) with Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen – the wild parties in the LA music scene with his friend Chaka Khan – and the fluorescent glare of a Texas correctional facility. This genre-bending piece of dark comedy, directed by Amir Arison (The Blacklist, The Beast in Me), cannot be missed as Van Zandt takes you through his spiraling descent: sex, fame, addiction, and ultimately…redemption.
