The Last Days of Judas Iscariot

JESUS sighs, takes off his shirt, plunges it in the bucket, rinses it, and begins to wash JUDAS feet. JESUS washes meticulously and with care. He washes. And washes. Perhaps the water is mixed with tears.

“You were my heart.” / “Why didn't you make me good enough ... so that you could've loved me?”

Honestly, I really wanted to like this. I'd heard really interesting things about it, and it explores a lot of interesting themes. But the problem is that despite the interesting themes, the jokes made were often either uncomfortable (ie: workplace harassment) or underwhelming. And when the problem wasn't the jokes not landing, it was simply the writing. I kept waiting for it to get to the good part, and before I knew it, the final monologue was happening and I sat there thinking “okay, and?” It feels almost unfinished in a way I can't really explain, but I really wish it didn't. I hoped for a lot from this play, and the fact I didn't get much from it at all was a let down.
