An intense, chilling take on life behind bars, this performance strikes a fine balance of intellectual vigor and sophistication on the one hand and so much anguished passion on the other.

"I would LOVE to see this on stage! I became very invested in Angel. I could see this in my head as if were being performed. Jesus Hopped the A Train was both heart wrenching and hilarious. The banter was spot on and the plot was intense. One of the best plays I have read in a long time." — Michelle (5 out of 5 stars)

" A very disturbing, and at times puzzling play about prisoners. Their background stories at times feel like they have been copied out of a newspaper. Can be a bit confusing at times and tedious to follow. "
" Stories about prisoners and life in prison fascinate me, so this was right up my alley. It's a pretty terrific play - but I think I'd only be interested in seeing it with experienced actors. It ain't "actor proof" by any stretch. "
" Phenomenal. Saw play. Had pleasure of seeing Carl Lumbly play Lucius. Unforgettable line: "Faith is a decision." "
" One of the most disturbing and emotionally riveting plays I saw this year. The performances were mediocre, but the writing was flawless. Be prepared for a rough ride, however. Nothing is glossed in this jailhouse drama. "
" I read this a while ago. The theater company I'm involved with performed this, so I've had time to really digest this play. It's really engaging and abrasive. There are some legal plot holes, however, but they don't detract from the show I think. "
" Really enjoyed listening to this after reading. Found myself sitting back imagining the actors performance. Really good... "
" Memorable for being the first Redstitch performance I saw. "
" Always enjoy Guirgis' writing, and can imagine an electric and excellent performance in this intense, compelling play about justice, repentance, and faith. "
