What was Judas Iscariot thinking? This compelling, popular Off-Broadway drama imagines a mythical trial to determine Judas' motives, beyond the 30 pieces of silver, for betraying Jesus and if he should spend eternity in hell or not. Despite the profound line of questions for witnesses including Mother Teresa, Satan, Mary Magdalene, Sigmund Freud, a hand-full of Saints, and Pontius Pilate, the play is filled with humor and unfolds with a decidedly contemporary feel that melds street slang, ecstatic poetry, rude comedy, and sublime allusions. Playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis' sprawling courtroom dramedy provides fresh insights into the "Greatest Story Ever Told" and will test your limits for forgiveness and laughter.
Good god. I want to watch this play sooo bad!!!
