- Full Price:
- $20.00

This all-new madcap musical from T. Schreiber Studio follows the exploits of cockney sausage-stuffer Herbert Wingate, who decides to take it upon himself to rid the Whitechapel streets of the serial-killing scourge known as Jack the Ripper. The music and lyrics by Tom Herman are a mix of Broadway, operetta and vaudeville, while the book by Elmer L. Kline with Leo Cardini and Herman puts a black-humored twist on the situation, as Wingate comes up with many a zany scheme to unmask the murderer. Learn More

I found the play very thought provoking. It was long, but I didn't notice. The performances were riviting. The venue very intimate.Written on Feb 26 2012

I really wanted to like this more - it's a smart subject matter and I still think this production has great possibility with some rewrite/editing. The actors and performances were good and the production raised many interesting questions.Written on Feb 28 2012
The second act reached a high emotional point in the "courtroom" then the whole thing just lost steam. The last two acts were way too long and failed to go anywhere. We left not with questions for discussion, but rather feeling that it was unfinished.

To say we got our $'s worth is an understatement! To begin with, the play is about 3 hours long, with only one intermission. It is phenomenal. The casting couldn't have been better. Those actors meshed so well together & made this fictitious story so believable to the audience. This play certainly left me with lots of food for thought. I can't stop thinking about it. Truly, this is NY theater at its very best. Bravo!Written on Mar 05 2012

It was just OK for me. Some parts were funny/intriguing/smart and other - sub par (for instance, St. Monica dropping the F-word right and left, totally not cool) and simply dreadful.Written on Feb 27 2012
Overall, it was too long - I'd cut some parts out or at least limit the monologues so that the show would finish within 2 hours (vs. 3 + intermission).

Quotes & Highlights
- “[The Last Days of Judas Iscariot] shares many of the traits that have made Mr. Guirgis a playwright to reckon with in recent years: a fierce and questing mind that refuses to settle for glib answers, a gift for identifying with life’s losers and an unforced eloquence that finds the poetry in lowdown street talk.” —The New York Times
- “Stephen Adly Guirgis has written a real jaw-dropper…expressionistic fantasy … raw language and flamboyantly street-savvy characters … his imagination is dazzling and his command of language downright thrilling.” —Variety

About the Ticket Supplier: T. Schreiber Studio
On January 25, 1999 the T. Schreiber Studio was recognized by the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York for, "Its dedication to making it possible for New Yorkers to enjoy some of the most talented actors, directors and playwrights. For 30 years T. Schreiber Studio's commitment to the theater arts has made it one of the foremost professional theatre studios and helped make New York City the Theatre Capitol of the World."
Terry Schreiber was also congratulated on that date by then Vice President (now Nobel laureate) Al Gore, "I am pleased to have this opportunity to send you my congratulations as you are recognized for 30 years of teaching the craft of acting. You should be proud of this accomplishment. Your dedication, commitment and perseverance in nurturing new talent has served the New York theatre community well."
The T. Schreiber Studio began in 1969 with Terry Schreiber teaching classes twice a week to twelve actors in a converted loft on the Upper East Side of New York City. Enrollment increased and the group began mounting productions in what were the early beginnings of New York City's Off-Off Broadway movement and building its reputation of high quality productions and performances.
The studio continued to grow, adding more faculty, more actors, and more plays and in the mid 70's, drama critic Walter Kerr's glowing review in the New York Times of Schreiber's production of The Trip Back Down, brought the Studio much attention and packed houses. The Trip Back Down then moved to Broadway and John Cullum (Northern Exposure) was signed to do the lead.
Throughout the 1980's and into the 90's the T. Schreiber Studio continued to produce good actors and good theatre, adding Betty Buckley to its prestigious faculty and residing at 83 East Fourth Street, the burgeoning street of Off-Off Broadway. During that time Terry Schreiber continued his own directing career with two more Broadway shows: Devour the Snow and K-2, and numerous regional theatre productions providing more casting opportunities for studio actors.
In 1996 the Studio moved to its current, renovated multi-use space on the 7th floor of 151 West 26th Street in New York's lively Chelsea neighborhood. Classes and productions run continuously throughout the year.
