Synopsis
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.
Press Reviews
"A real jaw-dropper. Expressionistic fantasy… raw language and flamboyantly street-savvy characters… [Guirgis’] imagination is dazzling and his command of language downright thrilling."
— Variety
"An extraordinary play… not since Angels in America have I seen a play so unafraid to acknowledge the power of the spirit."
— The Guardian
"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 talk… Mr. Guirgis is a zealous and empathic researcher, and he presents dilemmas of ancient Galilee in terms winningly accessible to the 21st century."
— The New York Times
"One of the most passionate and powerful young playwrights to have come down the theatrical runway… A must for anyone interested in the work of thoughtful and original playwrights."
