SONIA FRIEDMAN PRODUCTIONS & ROYAL COURT THEATRE production of JERUSALEM, which returns for a new revival production starring Mark Rylance as Rooster Byron.

Mark Rylance leads the cast in the West End revival of the Royal Court Theatre’s sell-out production of Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, directed by Ian RicksonJerusalem, which received its world premiere at the Royal Court in July and for which Rylance, in particular, received outstanding reviews.

Jerusalem is a comic, contemporary vision of life in our green and pleasant land. 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.

★★★★★ “The must-see event” Daily Telegraph ★★★★★ “Fantastic, shocking and fresh” Daily Mail ★★★★ “Bold, ebullient and hilarious” The Times ★★★★“This one you have to see” The Independent

JERUSALEM is directed by Ian Rickson

Brilliant production. Best theatre I've ever seen. Powerful, poignant and relevant.

A great play with superb acting. Mark Rylance brilliant as ever. A strong underlying message we all need to consider. Together with ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ West End Theatre at its best.

Kaisa Haatanen

Jaeusalem is one of the most important theatre experiences in my life. I saw it ten years ago and loved it, and now in 2022 it’s even more important play. Jez Butterworth is a mad genious and Mark Ryland is the best actor of our times. /Kaisa Haatanen, Helsinki Finland

The best play I’ve ever seen with the best actor in the world - Mark Rylance. It was an epic performance and I am in awe that he is able to repeat that performance day after day. The rest of the cast are also amazing - was lovely to see Alan Williams as the Professor.

Judith Gudgeon

Fantastic - mark rylance was breathtaking as were the whole cast

William

Amazing. So captivating.

Royce, Edmonton

Good staging of a limited story. The “cult” around it is silly and insulting to the intelligence of some in the audience (so much leaping to their feet the instant the curtain dropped was an embarrassment). The cost was excessive and the booking and too frequent reminders were annoyances. Live theatre should not be controlling - and is the antithesis of the intent of the play.
