Review: Prison drama opens window on enduring questions

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Faith, forgiveness, redemption and responsibility struggle within the characters and the drama of "Jesus Hopped the A-Train."
Produced by barebones productions, it's being given a neatly conceived staging through Jan. 29 at the New Hazlett Theater, North Side.
Stephen Adly Guirgis' prison drama delves into the big and timeless questions: Can accepting Christ into your life wipe clean a rap sheet of murders, or are some crimes beyond forgiveness? Is it OK to lie to a jury and get an acquittal when the punishment is greater than the crime committed?
