Show Details
Acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, Jez Butterworth's new play is a comic, contemporary vision of life in our green and pleasant land. Starring Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook, Jerusalem transfers to the West End from January 2010 following a sell-out run at the Royal Court Theatre.
On St George's Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron, local waster and modern day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his children want their dad to take them to the fair, Troy Whitworth wants to give him a serious kicking and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
Cast includes Jessica Barden, Mackenzie Crook, Alan David, Aimeé-Ffion Edwards, Gerard Horan, Danny Kirrane, Charlotte Mills, Lucy Montgomery, Sarah Moyle, Harvey Robinson, Mark Rylance, Barry Sloane.

The Daily Telegraph ****
"A welcome blast of bracing fresh air"
"a play blessed with what I suspect will prove an award-winning performance by the great Mark Rylance"

"Rylance is wonderfully funny"
The Times ****
"His [Butterworth's] Jerusalem is a bold, ebullient and often hilarious State-of-England or (almost) State-of-Olde-England play"
