ABOUT THE PLAY:
Set in a gritty corner of Purgatory, this darkly funny and deeply provocative courtroom drama reexamines the ultimate betrayal. Saints and sinners take the stand. Mother Teresa testifies. Pontius Pilate defends himself. And at the center of it all is a question that still haunts humanity: Is anyone beyond redemption?
Raw, irreverent, and unexpectedly moving, Stephen Adly Guirgis’ electrifying script crackles with humor and humanity while wrestling honestly with faith, justice, forgiveness, and the limits of divine love. This co-production celebrates bold storytelling and fearless artistic partnership between two companies committed to meaningful, risk-taking theatre.
