Angel Cruz is standing trial for shooting the Reverend Kim in
the ass; Reverend Kim later died. Lucius Jenkins is on appeal, trying to avoid
the death penalty for the murder of eight people. For one hour each day, both
men share adjacent cages on Rikers Island, New York’s top security prison. Then
one day they get talking.

Jesus Hopped The ‘A’ Train is a funny, powerful, adrenaline-fuelled drama of good and
evil, penalty and redemption, by award-winning American playwright Stephen
Adley Giurgis (The
Motherfucker With The Hat, National Theatre and The Last Days Of Judas Iscariot
at the Almeida).
