"A spectacular extravaganza of theatre that will give you something to talk about over dinner for quite a while. . . It's a parable of love and forgiveness, all dolled up in extraordinarily clever sequences that range from hilariously funny to outragesously ridiculous to thoughtfully poignant . . . great script by a contemporary playwright . . . outstanding visual experiences . . . directed with splendid timing and control . . . it soars and dips like a rollercoaster . . . 13 talented actors whose combined skills bring the show to life with exuberance and outstanding insightfulness. . . Don't wait to order tickets; this exciting and intriguing show will sell out fast" Read more . . . - Ann Bennett, Santa Cruz Sentinel

"moments by Beckett, dialogue by Mamet and street talk by Spike Lee" Read more . . . - Bruce Bratton, BrattonOnline (scroll down to the Oct. 5-11 issue)

"Susan Myer Silton has always been a gutsy director and producer, taking her theater group, Pisces Moon, into areas where others fear to tread. She looks for avant-garde projects that deal with issues relevant to our society and is often the first in Santa Cruz to present thought-provoking plays, such as her 2002 production of The Laramie Project. In keeping with this tradition, Silton brings us Stephen Adly Guirgis' complex, witty, and challenging play, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot." Read more... - Joyce D. Mann, Metro Santa Cruz

"Conversations about Judas Iscariot and forgiveness ignite the Pisces Moon stage." Read more . . . - Christa Martin (Review), The Good Times Weekly

". . . it's ultimately a conversation about forgiveness, done so with the type of smarts and style that only Pisces Moon can pull off." Read more . . . - Christa Martin (Preview), The Good Times Weekly
