The American Theatre Wing, founder of the Tony Awards, has described Triad Stage as "one of the most promising emerging theatre companies from around the country." In this riveting drama, an African-American ex-con saves the life of a white professor on a subway platform in New York City, even though the professor didn't wish for such deliverance. The incident leads the two men back to a Harlem apartment where hope and despair clash in a battle that shakes both men to the core of their existence. Is one an angel? Is the other completely lost? Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist McCarthy's fierce and passionate writing explodes in this drama of two lives changed forever by an act of grace.

"Lane makes our ride on The Sunset Limited a roller coaster of emotions, a back-and-forth transit between belief and non-belief...It's a gripping, intense, sometimes comical, stare-down of the Grim Reaper." - Lynn Jessup, Classical Voice of North Carolina
