Two Bob Theatre presents...
GUERILLA
by John Cargill Thompson
&
WHORE
by Carol Vine
This Easter, the two most
reviled sinners in history confront their reputations on the
London stage.
In this double-bill of one-person plays, Judas Iscariot and
Mary Magdalene emerge from centuries of doctrinal dispute to
challenge not only our preconceptions but also Jesus, their
fellow disciples and their own fears.
Guerilla/Whore examines the human casualties behind
the dogma as Judas wrestles with his betrayal and Mary
grieves the consequences. We follow them from their initial
intoxicating rapture with the young prophet, to the
inescapable tragedy of their part in his destiny.
The result is a personal Passion play that goes beyond the
Gospels to explore the lives changed forever by the charisma
of one man.
Terrorist or freedom fighter? Traitor or “Guerilla”?
Disciple or Harlot? Apostle or “Whore”?
Are Judas and Mary innocent?

Two Bob Theatre’s inaugural production, Guerilla/Whore
consists of John Cargill Thompson’s Fringe First award
winning Guerilla and the World Premiere of Carol
Vine’s specially commissioned Whore.
“Guerilla, propounding Judas as an optimistic
nationalist, is a genuinely moving addition to Crucifixion
literature, and one showing Thompson the man for great
things in religion as well as in history.” The Independent
In Whore, Carol Vine has fashioned a stark portrayal
that is by turns tender and brutal. Mary, steeped in regret
and her redemption soured, berates the male authority that
destroyed her very private relationship with Jesus.
