"Guirgis’s The Last Days of Judas Iscariot opens with a monologue from Judas’s mother,
“Henrietta,” commenting on the world’s judgment of her son:
On the day of my son’s birth I was infused with a love beyond all measure and
understanding … the world tells me that God is in heaven and that my son is in hell. I tell
the world the one true thing I know: If my son is in hell, then there is no heaven—
because if my son sits in hell, there is no God [(p. 8)]."
