Review of Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train (Belvoir St Theatre)

September 18th 2007 23:35
Jesus hopped the A train - Stephen Adly Guirgis - Belvoir - 2007


It begins with a character mumbling in the dark, stumbling over the words of the Lord's Prayer, but pushing himself to keep going, while prisoners around him yell at him to shut the fuck up. You soon discover the man's name is Angel Cruz (played by Ryan Johnson), that he's 30-years-old and Puerto Rican, that he tried to save his friend from a religious group, and that he's charged with attempted murder of the preacher ("But I just shot him in the ass
