Elysium TC is a new, northern-based theatre company, and Jesus Hopped the A Train is only its second production – the first being Days of Wine and Roses, which was nominated for a Manchester Theatre Award. Its mission is ‘to bring the best of world theatre to the North.’ This is obviously a worthy ambition – and, judging by this exhilarating and highly accomplished production, Elysium is well on the way to achieving it.
