THE STORY: Set in a time-bending, darkly comic world between heaven and hell, THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT reexamines the plight and fate of the New Testament's most infamous and unexplained sinner.

"[THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT] shares many of the traits that have made Mr. Guirgis a playwright to reckon with in recent years: a fierce and questing mind that refuses to settle for glib answers, a gift for identifying with life's losers and an unforced eloquence that finds the poetry in lowdown street talkMr. Guirgis is a zealous and empathic researcher, and he presents dilemmas of ancient Galilee in terms winningly accessible to the twenty-first century" - NY Times. "Stephen Adly Guirgis has written a real jaw-dropperexpressionistic fantasyraw language and flamboyantly street-savvy charactershis imagination is dazzling and his command of language downright thrilling." - Variety. "one of the most passionate and powerful young playwrights to have come down the theatrical runwaya must for anyone interested in the work of thoughtful and original playwrights." - CurtainUp. "An extraordinary playnot since Angels in America have I seen a play so unafraid to acknowledge the power of the spirit" - The Guardian (UK).
