It’s a bit of a work in progress at the moment…

Meanwhile, can we interest you in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot?

MAKING STRANGE THEATRE COMPANY IN ASSOCIATION WITH PROJECT ARTS CENTRE PRESENTS THE IRISH PREMIERE OF

THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT
BY STEPHEN ADLY GUIRGIS

Downtown Purgatory… A lawyer who believes in divine mercy above divine justice is appealing Judas Iscariot’s sentence of eternal damnation. With a fateful kiss, Judas betrayed Jesus in Gethsemane. Was Judas an avaricious man? An instrument of divine will? A thwarted revolutionary? Does he deserve to be forgiven?

A colourful host of saints and sinners are called in as witnesses, from Satan and Pontius Pilate to Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud. Blistering with passion and told in the raw and poetic language of the New York streets, this play finds beauty in the most unexpected places.

“(Making Strange)…Electrifies this business we call show with the power of transformation and the inarguable politics of sheer fabulousness.” – Irish Theatre Magazine

    I was at Judas on Friday and on behalf of my 3 friends who were with me I would like to thank you for a wonderful production. As a regular theatre goer I would say this is in my top 5 all time favourite shows. The topic was imaginative, the acting was inspiring – not fogetting the setting – both simple and effective. Thank you all.
