The Judas Kiss

Following its sell-out run at Hampstead Theatre in 2012, David Hare's The Judas Kiss has since gone on to the West End, a UK tour and is now in its final stages of a US tour.
It finishes its tour with a four week run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and has received great critical acclaim throughout. Here's some of what the critics have had to say.
