Who do you play in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot?: The Bailiff and Simon The Zealot
Tell us about The Last Days of Judas Iscariot: Stephen Aldy Guirgis' plays are always so hard to label into one genre because they are very charming with comedic moments, but always end up ripping your heart out. However, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is a courtroom drama that has Judas Iscariot on trial, in purgatory, to see if he is going to Heaven or Hell.
