Eric Bogosian will star alongside Sam Rockwell in the LAByrinth Theater Company/Public Theater co-production of Stephen Adly Guirgis' The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. Bogosian is set to play The Devil in the show.
Bogosian is best known for writing and starring in the Pulitzer Prize finalist Talk Radio. His other plays include Fun House, Drinking in America, SubUrbia, Pounding Nails in the Floor, Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. In addition to appearing in many of his own works, Bogosian has performed on stage most recently in off-Broadway's The Exonerated and in numerous films. His acting film credits include Dolores Claiborne, Under Siege 2, The Substance of Fire, Deconstructing Harry, Gossip, Igby Goes Down, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Wonderland.
The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is set in the Court of Hope, across the tracks from Purgatory, where the appeal case of God and the Kingdom of Heaven vs. Judas Iscariot Rockwell is underway. It is being billed as a serio-comic re-examination of the plight and fate of the apostle Judas Iscariot.
The show, directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, will begin performances at the Public on February 8. Chris McGarry, Mums and Portia will also be featured.
