Synopsis
THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT is an uproarious, poignant, thought-provoking work by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Boasting a large cast of zany characters, it asks one of the most plaguing questions in the Christian ideology: What happened to Judas Iscariot?
Set in a time-bending, imagined world between Heaven and Hell, Judas’ case is put to a hilarious, riotous, piercing trial – the results of which are sure to make the inhabitants of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory — and the audience — reconsider what each thought they knew about forgiveness, faith, and the human inside one of the history’s most infamous figures.
Seeking a diverse cast. Minimum 10 M, 5 W (with doubling). Up to 18 M, 9 W (without doubling).
