"Set in the urban landscape of the New York Correctional system and Riker’s Island, the playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis mixes searing and visceral drama with dark comedy, as he explores timeless yet contemporary themes of guilt and innocence, judgment and desperation, and the true nature of redemption: the path of which is not always as clean and clear as we would hope."Jesus Hopped the A Train - originally produced by New York’s LAByrinth Theatre Company and directed by acclaimed actor Philip Seymour Hoffman won the Edinburgh Fringe First Award, the Detroit Free Press Play of the year, and was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award as Best New Play.
