The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at Gravity Players

From the artists who brought you Guirgis' hysterical, riveting The Motherf@*ker with the Hat known as 2016's "Most Daring Play of the Year" comes this Equity MPC Showcase: What has become of Jesus’ most notorious follower? In this dark comedy, time and space bend in a provocatively poignant quest to decide Judas' fate. Set in a courtroom in Purgatory, an uproarious cast of characters from Heaven and Hell swarm the stage to determine whether he has any grounds for redemption. This compassionate second look at Christian ideology offers urban street poetry, side-splitting laughs, and ambitious debate. "Stephen Adly Guirgis has written a real jaw-dropper…expressionistic fantasy…raw language and flamboyantly street-savvy characters…his 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 (UK).
