College takes 21st century Judas to Brighton Fringe

A powerful new play, The Twelfth Disciple, imagines a 21st-century Judas interrogated and forced to give up his leader. Set in the heart of middle-eastern conflict and fusing real cinematic footage with an on stage interrogation, The Twelfth Disciple is immediate, contemporary and poignant - a political thriller with biblical bite.
