THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT

By Stephen Adly Guirgis

Directed by Ricardo Frederick Evans
 

Set in a time-bending, darkly comic world between heaven and hell, Stephen Adly Guirgis’ The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reexamines the fate of the New Testament’s most notorious sinner through a lens that’s both thought-provoking and unexpectedly hilarious. This bold, contemporary courtroom drama brings saints, sinners, and everyone in between to the witness stand—challenging our ideas of justice, forgiveness, and the gray area in between. Described by The New York Times as “fierce,” “eloquent,” and “winningly accessible,” Guirgis’s powerful play invites us to question what it means to judge—and be judged.
