At Sing Sing, the infamous, Gothic maximum-security prison on the Hudson River in New York, some of the incarcerated pass their time and slay inner demons performing theater--in this case, a silly slapstick comedy about pirates, gladiators, and mummies on a wacky journey through time.

In this collection of magazine stories from Esquire and New York, Richardson showcases seven of his most bizarre and eye-opening journeys into the American scene and psyche.
