Dependent on the drama of the identical name by Pulitzer Prize Winner Cormac McCarthy, this searing drama that is two-character blends comedy and pathos when examining the association between strangers that are attracted by dire circumstances. Place in a New York tenement apartment, the story centers around two completely different men - a deeply religious black excon who adores the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor who strove to throw herself in front of an oncoming subway train,'The Sun Set Limited.' Since the one attempts to attach on a stage that is spiritual, fair and emotional, one other remains loyal in his despair. Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately shield their credos and try to convert one other.
