lelex 's review for:
The Last Days of Judas Iscariot: A Play
by Stephen Adly Guirgis
I'm gonna be so real with you the only reason I read this was bc I saw the Judas/Jesus convo excerpts in those goddamn tiktok vibe compilation videos and it felt like something I needed to read. Most of it reads as a court case transcription in a wild sort of way.
Now that I've read it I think I could've done without it, but it was interesting I guess. Wasn't prepared for the slurs and the fact that a lot of the characters felt like caricatures but I probably should've been. Parts of it felt like a kick to the chest and other parts made me squint my eyes.

"I do know that I am in continuous need of the Spiritual and that I usually go to great lengths to avoid it."
I held him in my arms for four days. On the third day, I remembered how Jesus had said that God has the biggest love for the least of his creatures—and Judas was the leastest creature I had ever seen.
Mother Teresa: Boy, one must participate in one's own salivation.
Cunningham: Must be nice to have all the answers.
Mother Teresa: Must be hard to have only questions.
Jesus: Where's your heart in all this, Judas? You think you were with me for any other reason than that?! It was your heart, Judas. You were all heart. You were my heart! Don't you know that?!
Judas: All I know is that you broke me unfixable
Judas: Why...didn't you make me good enough..so that you could've loved me?
And before I left, I apologized to her about the crying and all, and she said: "Don't be a jackass, Butch Honeywell," and I smiled,
