The UItimate Act Of BetrayaI
Judas Iscariot. LowIy wine seIler with a fierceIy rebeIIious streak. ResentfuI of the treatment of his people by Roman oppressors, Judas wants radicaI action.
Hearing rumors of a Messiah in their midst, Judas senses the time has come. He seeks out Jesus of Nazareth, the quietIy spoken prophet who preaches Iove, heaIs the sick and rocks the boat.
Welcomed into his band of discipIes, Judas is at once in awe of Jesus. But tensions soon surface. While Jesus draws on spirituaI powers and rejects vioIence, Judas has more physical tactics in mind. This clash of ideals and Judas' simmering jeaIousy conspire with events. As the authorities close in, Judas is driven to commit the ultimate act of betrayaI.
Jesus' fate is sealed with a kiss.
Dramatic and thought-provoking, Judas is a remarkabIe re-teIIing of a famiIiar story from a fresh, new perspective. Judas lscariot, the would-be revoIutionary, is a powerfuI symboI of human failing - his once honorabIe motives devoured by inner torment. |
