Books by Stephen Adly (Author) Guirgis

Published to coincide with its European premiere at the Almeida Theatre, London, in March 2008, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is Stephen Adly Guirgis' hilarious and extraordinary courtroom drama about the greatest human betrayal.

Daisy abandons recently released ex-convict Lenny at their local. At the bar is Skank, a failed actor-turned-junkie. De Maris, a 17-year-old gun-brandishing single mother wants to learn to turn tricks. Guirgis presents a grim and sad portrait of life on the streets of New York.

Angel Cruz, a poor Puerto Rican, isn't sure why he's in jail after shooting Reverend Kim, the born-again Christian who brainwashed his best friend. But when the Reverend dies in hospital, Angel lands in solitary confinement next to Lucius, a card-carrying Christian serial-killer.
