Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth Starring Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook ![]() Winner: Evening Standard Theatre Awards 2009 - Best Play & Best Actor -Mark Rylance 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. ![]() | Book Your Tickets Now!Show Information Booking From: 28th January 2010 Booking Until: 24th April 2010 Matinees: Thursday and Saturday 2pm Evenings: Monday to Saturday 7.30pm Venue Information Apollo Theatre Shaftesbury Avenue London W1D 7EZ Directions: Take the Piccadilly or Bakerloo line to Piccadilly Circus.
