The Bible's greatest villain is on trial in a town called Hope, deep in the heart of present-day purgatory. Everyone from Mother Teresa to Sigmund Freud to Satan is being called to testify. But how can a jury condemn a man for betrayal when no one in the courtroom can agree on the nature of faith, free will, or redemption? Forum takes on this challenging question in the DC premiere of this darkly funny, deeply challenging examination of faith and forgiveness. Judas is directed by multiple Helen Hayes Award nominee John Vreeke, Forum's artistic advisor.
