Stray Cat is thrilled to announce that we will be teaming up with the new incoming class of MFA Actors at ASU for a kinetic and visceral production of this wicked expressionistic fantasy. Set in a time-bending, darkly comic world between heaven and hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot uses flashbacks to an imagined childhood, and a courtroom in Purgatory with lawyers who call for the testimonies of such witnesses as Mother Teresa, Caiaphas, Saint Monica, Sigmund Freud and...wait for it...Artistic Director of Nearly Naked Theatre, Damon Dering will be down our alley to play - who else - Satan...to reexamine the plight and fate of the New Testament's most infamous and unexplained sinner.

"An extraordinary play...not since Angels in America have I seen a play so unafraid to acknowledge the power of the spirit..." - The Guardian
