Reviews of our most recent production

"Exciting and intriguing . . . drama that grabs you"

"From hilariously funny to . . . thoughtfully poignant"

Left to right: Luciana Fuller as Mary Magdalene, LaJoi Whitten as St. Monica

"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, The Santa Cruz Sentinel

"moments by Beckett, dialogue by Mamet and street talk by Spike Lee" Read more . . . - Bruce Bratton, BrattonOnline

". . . 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

"The Last Days of Judas Iscariot shows that everyone deserves a second chance." Read more . . . - Justine DaCosta, The Santa Cruz Sentinel

Reviews from the New York Debut, March 2005

"Set in a courtroom in a corner of purgatory called Hope, "Judas Iscariot" considers nothing less than the conflict between divine mercy and human free will. If God is all-forgiving, the play asks, then why is Judas condemned to an eternity in hell?" Full Review
Curtain Up
"Should Judas Iscariot, Jesus Christ's duplicitous disciple continue to languish in Hell, or can a case be made for his redemption? Stephen Adly Guirgis, one of the most passionate and powerful young playwrights to have come down the theatrical runway, seems to think that this sinner should at least be given another hearing."
