Riding the Midnight Express with Billy Hayes

Barrow Street Theatre, 27 Barrow St.
212-868-4444
Returning to New York directly from a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Billy Hayes recounts the riveting true story of his arrest in Istanbul in 1970 for smuggling hash, his 5 years in prison, his spiritual awakening, and his brazen, harrowing escape, rowing 17 miles across the Sea of Marmara in a raging storm in the dark of night. 39 years later, Hayes remains a mythical figure - a cultural anti-hero known around the world. A Q&A with Billy Hayes will follow each performance. Wed.-Sat., 7:30; Sun., 2. Call or visit website for variations in playing schedule.
