2 The Theatre School at DePaul University The Last Days of Judas Iscariot 3 DIRECTOR’S NOTE DRAMATURGY NOTE One of the coolest things about Facebook is that I can find all my friends from high school Writer Andrew Solomon spent many years abroad studying despair, and he wrote in his there. I went to Lincoln Southeast High School in Lincoln, Nebraska, and it’s been a blast to memoir: “To be creatures who love, we must be creatures who can despair at what we lose.” see what everyone’s up to, what they are doing with their lives, who got married, see their This is the difficult truth about what it means to love, but it does not mean that despair is kids, get pieces of advice and jokes. It’s like this ongoing online reunion. permanent. My best friend in high school was Blake Ford. Blake was new—I think he started when we Perhaps then it is time that we begin to forgive our own Judas. were juniors. He was crazy smart, crazy adventurous, tall and funny looking, and witty as hell. ~Francesco De Salvatore, 4th Year BFA/Dramaturgy Blake was the first person I listened to OMD or The Cure or Japan with. He was the first person I ever saw roll up a hundred dollar bill into a little tube. He and his best friend, John Holyoke, were super cool because they had an alternative music show on the UNL radio station. We got top grades. We went to lots of parties. Our senior class was bold and bright and beautiful, and ABOUT JUDAS Blake and I were inseparable. At its very best, theology attempts to disrupt and interrupt. Great art, such as theatre, In the fall after I’d gone away to college, Blake committed a crime. It was a real crime—not actually accomplishes this goal far more often than theology. The cast, crew, dramaturgs, possession of drugs, say or petty larceny—he did something that hurt someone we all knew. and directors provide viewers with a mirror. Theologians hand people books. Mirrors show He was convicted and found guilty and went to Juvenile Detention for a spell. And when he viewers what they might be. Books invite readers to consider what they might become. got out, he could not find forgiveness—not from the community, not from his friends, and, least of all from himself. The Last Days of Judas Iscariot disrupts and interrupts. Hopefully its questions confront the audience long after the performance concludes. I went to visit him when I came home for Spring Break. He was out of jail. I went to see him at his house. We sat on his bed. I was scared and freaked out and trying to be normal. I didn’t Judas of history was someone’s son, friend, and colleague. He betrayed Jesus of Nazareth. He know what to say. committed suicide. These simple facts are most likely historically accurate. Christians could have cleaned up the story, but they did not. Judas is embarrassing to Christians because he I can’t find Blake on Facebook now because later that summer, he hung himself. was, indeed, an apostle chosen by Jesus. The early stories cannot exclude him. Judas may This play is about Forgiveness. later be easily vilified yet Judas is inescapable. This play is about Despair. Judas is a question mark. Was he tempted by financial gain? Was he evil? Judas has been portrayed as a victim. His despair and self-murder have served as a cautionary tale for This play is for Blake Ford, 1967 – 1985. He would have laughed. centuries. Was Judas simply a tool, a cog in some divine machination, unable to decide for ~Lisa Portes himself? Would it have been better or would the Jesus story have ended differently if Judas had never been born? Does anyone really have a choice about anything or are choices determined by social position, gender, convictions, or other cultural facets that come together DRAMATURGY NOTE to make each person what she or he is? The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, like theology and philosophy, cannot answer these questions. I’ll always remember a story Sister Helen Prejean, a leading advocate for the abolition of the It raises questions and does this extremely well with humor, provocation, and raw humanity. death penalty, recounted to me about a couple from Texas. A number of years of ago their Similar to scripture, Judas offers the audience a conundrum that cannot be easily resolved. It beloved child was murdered by a stranger and as a result, he was sentenced to death by cannot prove anything. lethal injection. Following his death, they attended every execution in the state of Texas and Judas is the friend who has betrayed and deserves to be punished.

Judas is the broken son of his culture executions. and despairs because he cannot live with what he has done or who he is. There was no one Similarly, artists, theologians, and scholars alike have held their own tailgating parties as they around who could tell Judas that things will get better. continue to imprison Judas Iscariot with guilt. We are no closer to discovering what happened Judas uses and is used. Judas is generous and selfish, humble and arrogant. He believes between Judas and Jesus. Yet, everyone from Lady Gaga to Martin Luther has constructed completely and doubts absolutely. Judas has no idea what is and is not true. Nothing about an interpretation that seeks to vilify him. Even to this day in Mexico City, during the Easter Judas occurred in a vacuum. Nothing about Judas is solely his responsibility. holiday, effigies of Judas are burned, flogged, or stuffed with fireworks and blown up to the Judas might be a mirror. A mirror shows what is recognizable, what is embarrassing, what is heavens. regrettable, what is beautiful, and what holds potential. The mirror-image may or may not be While writing this play, Stephen Adly Guirguis viewed Judas differently. There was one changeable. The image might be culturally determined. It might also defy culture. In the end, question he continued to revisit: How can there be a God if Judas was not forgiven? In other who has the right to make that judgment? words, if God is the embodiment of love, then it is unlikely that Judas resides in Hell. Perhaps Is anything truly unforgiveable? If the answer is yes, then who is to say what qualifies as then, the historical portrayals of Judas reveal more insight about our own culture then what unforgiveable? If one is guilty, does he or she receive punishment or rehabilitation? If the actually took place between the two men. The story about the couple from Texas, or the answer is no, who is responsible for those who cannot forgive themselves? At the moment, drunken parades chanting “USA” after Osama bin Laden’s death, or even the rage still felt after the Divine, though hopefully present, is also very silent. Perhaps looking inside and then at the murder of Trayvon Martin is an indicator that we are not ready to forgive. The result is that one another can help provide an answer. more hate is thrown back into the world instead of love. ~Father Chris Robinson, C.M., Theological Consultant 4 The Theatre School at DePaul University The Last Days of Judas Iscariot 5 BIOGRAPHIES BIOGRAPHIES [cont.]
