Matinee May 23 at 12:30 pm (No show May 19) The jury is out in this riotously funny, coarse and colourful play that imagines a trial of God and the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth versus Judas Iscariot for the betrayal of his homey, Lord Jesus Christ. In a gritty courtroom, between Heaven and Hell, a host of iconic figures, from Mother Theresa, to Sigmund Freud to Satan himself, are called to testify and weigh in on the epic debate between divine mercy and human free will. "Between Heaven and Hell – there is another place. This place: Hope. Hope – is located right over here in downtown Purgatory.
