This looks interesting and assuming if it's a success we'll get a British version over here!
Blurb from the website -
When you hear the name Judas, you think of betrayal. He is the man who agreed to hand over Jesus in exchange for 30 silver coins. That is the official version. However, in the Gospel of Judas, Jesus asks Judas to betray him, which means he did it because Jesus himself had asked him to. And that is strange, because Judas’ deed leads to the crucifixion of Jesus.
Robert Icke became fascinated by this other version of the story and brings it to the stage in a world premiere: Judas as the true, perfect disciple of Jesus. A play about the positive side of betrayal.
Previously, Robert Icke created an acclaimed contemporary version of Oedipus and The Doctor at ITA. With Children of Nora, he made a sequel to Ibsen's A doll’s house.
