The Last Days of Judas Iscariot Extends at the Public through April 3

The LAByrinth Theater Company/Public Theater co-production of Stephen Adly Guirgis' The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, starring Sam Rockwell and Eric Bogosian, has been extended by two weeks. The show, directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, will now run at the Public through April 3.

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is a time-bending serio-comic drama in an imagined world between Heaven and Hell that re-examines the plight and fate of The New Testament's most infamous and unexplained ultimate sinner. Throughout the play, figures ranging from Pontius Pilate to Sigmund Freud are called to testify in a trial of "God and the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth versus Judas Iscariot."

The play began previews at the Public Theater's Martinson Hall on February 8 and officially opens on March 2. In addition to Rockwell and Bogosian, the cast includes John Ortiz, Liza Colon-Zayas, Jeffrey DeMunn, Yetta Gottesman, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Salvatore Inzerillo, Adrian Martinez, Craig "muMs" Grant, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Deborah Rush, Kohl Sudduth, Callie Thorne and Yul Vazquez.
