    Ned Van Zandt and Amir Arison are here, and this is one of those stories that feels almost too wild to be true—but it is. Lost in Del Valle is the gripping, genre-bending solo play written and performed by Van Zandt and directed by Arison, now making its New York run at SoHo Playhouse after a celebrated run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
