​
A cage-rattling prison drama from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis (Between Riverside & Crazy) that boldly examines faith, dignity, and our system of justice. Angel Cruz is a young Puerto Rican man incarcerated for shooting cult leader Reverend Kim. When the Reverend dies during surgery, Angel suddenly finds himself facing murder charges. His only companions at Rikers Island are Lucius Jenkins, a serial killer turned born-again Christian, and Valdez, a sadistic corrections officer.​

Running Time: 2 hours and 20 minutes (including 10-minute intermission)
