The Last Days of Judas Iscariot by Stephen Adly Guirgis

Magnolia Lounge / Margo Jones Theatre at Fair Park

Set in a courtroom in Purgatory, this play by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Guirgis puts Judas’s case to a hilarious, riotous, piercing trial, with witnesses including Pontius Pilate, Mother Teresa and Satan; the results may make the inhabitants of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory – and the audience – reconsider what each thought they knew about forgiveness, faith and the human inside one of history’s most infamous figures. “What gives the play its life is that Guirgis handles big issues with comic flair. … a gloriously intoxicating brew …” (The Guardian)
