Playreading: JERUSALEM (Jez Butterworth)
Rooster's life hasn't been going too smoothly. The former daredevil now finds himself living in a caravan in the English countryside, spending his days dispensing booze, drugs and tall stories to local teenagers. He’s also been served an eviction notice for unauthorized encampment. It’s not his first warning, but it feels like it might be his last. We first meet him mixing himself a hangover smoothie of sour milk, eggs, vodka and... speed.
A contemporary folk-English pastoral with an exceptionally high swear word count, this rich three-hour play is also tender, touching, and blessed with both a ribald humour and a haunting sense of the mystery of things. Jez Butterworth's JERUSALEM is widely beloved as one of the seminal British plays of the 21st century, one whose significance has continued to evolve through Brexit, Covid and beyond. We hope you will join us for a reading.
