Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth
Apollo Theatre London
Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth 'a new play of irrepressibly energy, wonderful wit and wild wonder 'Sunday Express'. 'This play, this production, this performance are sensational 'Financial Times'. 'Spellbinding, exuberant and glowingly atmospheric, it teems with faultless performances, central among them Mark Rylance's extraordinary portrayal of Johnny. You'd be mad to miss it. 'Time Out. Age recommendation: 14+ A comic, contemporary vision of rural life in our green and pleasant land, Jez Butterworth's epic new play is wildly original. In part a lament about the erosion of country life and in part a rebuff to the antiseptic modern world, it features a landmark central performance from Mark Rylance as hellraiser Johnny Byron, 'a performance so charismatic, so mercurial, so complete and compelling that it doesn't look like acting' (ES), and a superb ensemble cast including Mackenzie Crook who 'excels' as Johnny's sidekick Ginger. On St George's Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants his dad to take him to the fair, and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol. |
