Theater: The Last Days of Judas Iscariot @ Palo Alto

By Stephen Adly Guirgis

Featuring a large cast of zany characters, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot asks one of the most plaguing questions in the Christian ideology: What happened to Judas? Was Judas the duplicitous master of his own fate, a much-suffering pawn used for Jesus’s ends, or just a man who made a mistake? Set in a courtroom in Purgatory, The Last Days puts Judas’ case to a hilarious, riotous, piercing trial, the results of which are sure to 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 the history’s most infamous figures.
