Judas Iscariot's case is about to go before the courts again — and the audiences.

This March, Thorneloe University Theatre Arts is presenting the story, which tells the ultimate fate of Iscariot.

“The plays uses flashbacks to an imagined childhood, and laywers who call for the testimonies of such witnesses as Mother Teresa, Caiaphas, Saint Monica, Sigmund Freud and Satan,” a media release stated.

“The play is a time-bending dark comedy/drama in an imagined world between Heaven and Hell that re-examines the plight and fate of The New Testament's most infamous and unexplained ultimate sinner.”

The production stars Thorneloe theatre students, as well as local actors.

Patricia Tedford, chair of the Thorneloe Theatre Arts department, directs the production. Ken Salah provides the lighting design and Robert Ivey designed the set.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

They are available in advance from the Thorneloe University main office, Black Cat, the Laurentian University and Cambrian College bookstores or online at thorneloetheatre.eventbrite.com.

Tickets will also be available at the door.

The production is on stage March 1-2 and 7-9 at 7:30 p.m.

On March 3, a 2 p.m. matinee is scheduled.

All shows take place at the Ernie Checkeris Theatre at Thorneloe.
