The plaintiff is a catatonic Judas Iscariot (Jared Grayson), represented by his fiery attorney Fabiana Aziza Cunningham (Norma B. The scene is the present-day courthouse of Judge Littlefield (Chad Davies). The play is set in the nebulous region known as Purgatory-the staging place between heaven and hell. However, as she points out, the ethnicity, age and even the sex of the actors is irrelevant in the telling of this powerful story.
