The Last Days
of Judas Iscariot
By Stephen Adly Guirgis
Produced by Pound of Flesh Theatre
in association with Pacific Theatre
and Neworld Theatre
Presented with Rumble Productions as part of the 2012 TREMORS Festival
“[The Last Days] makes most contemporary plays seem safe, timid and dull, and reminds us of what is missing not only from 99 per cent of our drama but from 99 per cent of our lives – a sense of spirituality and of mystery.”
- The Telegraph
Five of Vancouver's most exciting theatres conspire to bring "Judas" back to life! Halfway between Heaven and Hell, in a court room that's as much ghetto as gospel, the witnesses are called – Mother Teresa, Pontius Pilate, Sigmund Freud, a foul-mouthed Saint Monica, a college English teacher, a handful of Jesus' disciples – to decide eternal questions of forgiveness, mercy and eternal damnation. Wildly funny and scathingly provocative, this searing look at history’s most infamous double-cross forces us to re-examine old truths and consider what it means to forgive. Based on the acclaimed 2009 staged reading by Pound of Flesh Theatre and Pacific Theatre.
Written by the author of
Jesus Hopped The 'A' Train.
