"Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train" is a play by Stephen Adly Guirgis that explores themes of faith, justice, and redemption through the lens of two inmates at Rikers Island. Angel Cruz, awaiting trial for shooting a cult leader, encounters Lucius Jenkins, a charismatic serial killer who has found religion. The play examines the nature of faith, the complexities of the justice system, and the potential for redemption in the most unlikely of places.
