"God's been fucking stealing souls again, hasn't he?"
Held inside a courtroom in downtown purgatory, the landmark appeal of Judas Iscariot examines the eternal struggle between divine mercy and human free will through the often hilarious testimony of witnesses from all of history. The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is a hilarious, poignant, thought-provoking work by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Boasting a large, zany cast of characters, the play asks one of the most plaguing questions in the Christian ideology: What happened to Judas Iscariot? |
