The Last Days of Judas Iscariot

In a time-bending corner of purgatory called “Hope,” Judas is on trial for his betrayal of Jesus, his soul left in the balance. Through the testimonies of larger-than-life biblical and historical characters such as Mother Teresa, Sigmund Freud, and Satan, Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Adly Guirgis’s provocative and irreverently funny play forces us to examine our ideas of love, mercy, free will, and forgiveness. Provoking and imaginative, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot blurs ancient faith with contemporary pessimism. 

“Our approach places the audience on the stage with the characters in the world of the play,” says director Dr. Vicki Hoskins. “By placing the audience in the midst of the action, we’re asking them to be more than spectators — we’re inviting them to grapple with the play’s questions in a direct and personal way.”
