Jesus Hopped the A Train is transferring from the Donmar Warehouse to the Arts Theatre, where it will replace Gagarin Way. Jesus Hopped the A Train, by Stephen Adly Guirgis, also featured in last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival and premiered in London as part of the Donmar's American Imports Season.
Philip Seymour Hoffman's involvement in the play, as director, was a major draw for the Donmar, and reflects Sam Mendes' interest in, and ability to, attract Hollywood big-hitters to his Covent Garden playhouse.
