The Last Days of Judas Iscariot — full set in performance, both stage-right and stage-left units

About the Design

Angled, mirrored walls and clusters of rusted oil drums define a fractured, purgatorial courtroom staged in the round, the audience pulled close on the action and the reflections multiplying the space.

Every surface was painted to read as decayed industrial concrete — peeling layers of old paint, water-stained block and a rough, broken floor — with the drums, buckets and pallets distressed across a range of rusts and faded hazard labels so no two pieces matched.

Process & Documentation

The realized, lit set is shown alongside the design package behind it: the paint elevations that set the texture and color language for each wall unit and prop, the ground plan and section for the theatre-in-the-round, a 3D overview, and construction plates for the individual platforms, poles and door units.
