Jerusalem

Hailed by critics as “the greatest British play of the century” and “the hit that transformed British theatre following its debut in 2009 at the Royal Court, Jerusalem is an irreverent hymn to myth, mischief and England’s lost wildness.
St. George’s Day. An old caravan sits at the edge of the Wiltshire woods, an eviction notice pinned to its door. Johnny “Rooster” Byron – a former daredevil and local outlaw – offers stories, sacraments and sanctuary to Flintock’s runaways and misfits as he stands defiant against the bulldozers of Kennet and Avon County Council.
Magical and haunting, Jerusalem beats its drum against the relentless march of modernity.
What is England without its myths?
