The Last Days of Judas Iscariot–Directed by Dr. Vicki Hoskins
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.
