"...extraordinary, comic and gripping...surely going to be on the shortlist for Best New Play of the Year" Kate Bassett, Independent on Sunday, 6 April 2008
Critics' Choice: "**** (4 stars) Stephen Adly Guirgis has the gift of the gab...startling and often humorous...superb cast" Jane Edwardes, Time Out, 10 April 2008
If God is all forgiving then why is Judas still in hell, isn't it about time he was given a reprieve?
A time-bending, comic drama set in an imagined world between Heaven and Hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot re-examines the fate of the New Testament’s most infamous sinner. With the help of testimony from Freud, Mary Magdalene, Mother Teresa and Satan this promises to be a funny, thoughtful and challenging production.
