Set in a time-bending, purgatorial world, suspended between Heaven and Hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is both a comic and philosophical meditation on the conflict between divine mercy and human free will that questions the eternal damnation of the Bible's most infamous sinner.
In this irreverent and often shockingly funny courtroom drama where history's most notorious betrayal is examined and cross-examined by the forces of good and evil, figures such as Pontious Pilate, Mother Theresa, Sigmund Freud and Satan are called to testify in a trial of God, the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth versus Judas Iscariot in a court that owes as much to the ghetto as the Gospels. Stephen Adly Guirgis uses the violent, chaotic energy of 80’s New York City to explore the timeless questions of free will and responsibility; of faith and fate.
